King George at Bass Pro Shops specifically rejects US Quarters minted in 1974

Springfield, MO— Due to the declining value of the United States dollar, tourism officials at Bass Pro Shops have decided to no longer accept the American currency at the request of King George. Specifically, the Bass Pro Shops alligator, King George, has requested that no US quarters be tossed into his swamp exhibit. He does, however, accept Euros.

“What’s with that gator who don’t take my money,” said Bobby Jitz, a customer who attempted to flick a nickel into the swamp exhibit. Jitz was halted by security who explained that King George prefers payment in Euros or British pounds.

Talent Entertainment Management President Tony Pheoly said, “several of today’s top performers and entertainers are requesting payment in anything but US dollars. Euros, pounds, Canadian dollars, African chickens, whatever. No top tier performer is going to kneel to the weakened dollar…look at Rhianna, or Lady Gaga they only take the Euro. I don’t know why King George should accept anything less. Heck, even Michael Jackson was preparing his comeback tour in Europe based on the strength of the economy in the Old World.”

A sign featuring a “quarter-buster” on the exhibit originally caused confusion among spectators. The “no quarter” message was considered to be a reference to Article 23 of the Hague Conventions of 1907 commonly known as The Laws and Customs of War on Land article. “Hey I’m sure King George would show no clemency and refuse to spare the life of any fool who jumps into the pit trying to give him a dirty quarter. Damn gator will eat ‘cho ass in a flash,” said his caretaker Lou Willins.

King George arrived as part of the major renovation at BPS’s flagship store here in Springfield. The 10-foot alligator hails from Texas Alligator Ranch.  Featured as a main attraction at Bass Pro Shops, the gator expected to draw attention, but not along financial lines.
