Jeff, you just might want to keep in mind that what seems
so worthless to you represents a substantial amount to
many organizations, never mind individuals, in Latin American
and Caribbean countries where incomes are far lower than in
the U.S. Of course, another factor is the honour of being
chosen to receive the prize ... but I doubt you'd be in
the running anyhow so it's just as well that you don't
need the bread.
