Contest $30 t-shirt contest: Dear Iceland, we said "send cash" not "ash" (24 hours)

We are looking for a creative and funny design for the latest breaking news topics that includes Iceland and europe:
1. Air traffic disrupted by volcanic ash from Iceland
2. Iceland voters reject repaying $5 billion foreign debt

1 + 2 = Dear Iceland, we said "send cash" not "ash"

Related stories:
CNN on the volcano ash chaos
CNN on Iceland not repaying their $5 billion debt

We are mainly looking for a design with both text and illustration.
Text: Dear Iceland, we said "send cash" not "ash"
Illustration: a nice design related to the text
Text-only tees might also be accepted if the text is done in a nice way.

It's ok if you only use parts of the 'slogan' if illustration covers parts of it.
I.e.:
We said "cash", not "ash"
Cash, not ash!
..etc, be creative and make something funny!

Things you might include in illustration: money, ash, volcano, Icelandic flag, etc.

Winner will be paid $30 USD.
We might want several different designs, and will therefore pay $10 per design for those who are good, but didn't win the competition.

All payments are done thru PayPal.
