That happens to be the exact price, including tax and tip, for bottle service at The Raspberry Fez (Bandura music Wednesday nights) in Borscht Bogrács, Molvania.  If you are lucky, there is a certain Poacher in town that carries around that amount of mad money.

I have too much time on my hands squared.  ;)
