Wish list as funny money
Funny money already takes the form of jokes, visions of funny world, and practical networking communications. Our wish list, offers, needs and jobs can also be written on funny money and circulated. We can put a value on each item based on the $100/hr minimum wage in funny world.

Funny money would look like barter currency, a good bridge to serious world. Of course it doesn't count until somebody earns it, and then they find out it isn't barter currency because they can't spend it. They've been conned. It's funny money, even says so on its face. It's funny to put out a wish list, so obviously self-serving, and pay for it with bogus currency.

Barter-style funnies deal with reality and doing things for each other. They do much more to set up connections and create community than the story or game funnies. Individuals can create an active currency right away, and start building the funny economy even before establishing parties and game groups.
