Ken Griffey, Jr. Makes a Funny

Paying back debts is never fun. Oh, so what -- so I borrowed like $30 from you that one night when I left my wallet at home and needed to buy a mojito and a cab ride for that one ugly girl at the bar. One time! You can't cut a guy a little slack?! You know I'm good for it! Ken Griffey, Jr. feels this pain. Screw actually paying someone back -- pay them back in pennies, ensuring they'll never use that money for anything ever again (via SbB):
Pitcher Josh Fogg arrived at his locker Wednesday to find it stacked with 60 boxes of pennies, 2,500 pennies to a box. He immediately looked at Griffey and said, "That's good, Griff, real funny. Kick me when I'm down." Griffey warned him but Fogg didn't believe it when Griffey said he was going to pay off a $1,500 debt in pennies. "I'm a man of my word," said Griffey. "When you owe a man $1,500, you pay him. You can't do a whole lot with pennies, can you? Just think, each box weighs 16 pounds so Fogg has 60 bowling balls in his locker."
For the record, Josh Fogg will make $1 million this year, only $400,000 of which is guaranteed. Griffey will make $12.5 million. I'm all for pranks, Griff, but sheesh: Fogg might actually need that money. Not cool, brah.
