Funny Money

For some reason I remembered these - I think they must have made the TV news in 1968:

A famous stunt from 1968 by Dick Gregory.  I never actually saw one but it got a LOT of free publicity.  One weird thing, this one is different:

Apparently the VP changed along the way from David Frost to Mark Lane ?

No, it explains it in the wiki (apparently Dr. Spock was another VP running mate):

BTW, this was NOT the TV David Frost from England, this David Frost was from NJ:

Here are Gregory and Frost with supporters in 1968:

 

Dick Gregory was quite a guy, as the old saying goes: "often wrong but never in doubt"  :)

  He would have been a better President than the current occupant.  I always had the belief that Dick Gregory, whatever his faults, actually liked people.  But maybe he lost a little of his sense of humor along the way ?
