The RaboDirect 'Money Tree' Shows Cash Does Grow on Trees

My parents, like many parents before and after them, always told me, "Money doesn't grow on trees." I can't wait to show my folks the RaboDirect Money Tree.

The Australian bank set up a real-life money tree as a publicity stunt. It's amazing to see how many people actually just walked right by the RaboDirect Money Tree, assuming it was fake. Even those who clued in were extremely calm. I'd have a chainsaw taking off entire branches!
