...and then I found $5.

a phrase you would say after telling a "funny" story, but the other person didn't laugh. Makes the story more interesting.

when you tell a bad story, and everyone knows it, say "and then i found 5 dollars" to make people think that it wasnt a shity story.

the phrase said when one realizes that the story they've wanted to tell, actually has no point at all. So instead of feeling embarrassment or having to add in a fake story line. You tag on the phrase..."and then i found five dollars"

a phrase used at the end of a story that had really no point to be told to someone. used at the end of boring stories to make them seem more interesting and worthwhile.
