QotD: Your Last Twenty Bucks

List three things you'd buy with your last $20. One practical, one frivolous and one of your choosing.

I'm going to assume that since this is my last $20, I'm going to be spending a lot of time sitting on park benches in the near future. With that in mind, here's my choices:

• Other: 8 Ounce Liquor Hip Flask ($9)
