   This is the same Weekly World News that has reported Michael Jackson is alive and well and has been sighted with Elvis!

   Satire!   Reminds me of National Enquirer articles . . .   

   Here is another!

   "Rumors of Ashton Kutcher cheating on Demi are true. He's with Betty White now."

   What's next?   Redesign the American Flag!

Another in a long trail of absolute garbage one can find on the internet. Ain't life grand!


From the very beginning of our nation's founding, patriotic men felt that it was improper to honor any living person by putting their image on the legal tender currency, especially the circulating coins. George Washington declined when our young nation wanted his portrait on the first U.S. Dollar, which was the start of this long and still unbroken tradition.  Somewhere along the line, a law was passed that prohibits portraits of living persons from appearing on Government Securities. Therefore, the portraits on our currency notes are of deceased persons whose places in history the American people know well.


Since I'm wound up on this.... the picture on that website rekindled an interest of mine. Two interests.

#1   Abolish $1 and $2 paper currency altogether. Use distinctive coins for those denominations. In the long run it will save us taxpayers oodles of money. And to heck with those who don't like it.

#2   Make the paper currency increase in size as the face value increases. That way blind people can tell one from the other.  (Ray Charles always insisted on being paid with $1 bills in his early days so he did not have to depend on anyone else to keep from being cheated. Or so I'm told. Good idea even if that story is not true.

Both ideas are not new and are used in almost every other country in the world. Just because the USA didn't do it first does not make either idea bad.

I dunno about that, Don... If I carry any more change in my pockets it will pull my pants down.

What I found in Europe was that I made extra effort to spend the coins rather than let them collect.

and....  It costs ~16 cents to make $1 coins, and each has a life span of about 30 years. It costs ~ 6.2 cents to make $1 bills, and they have a life span of about 21 months.

Glenn are you saying you don't run around all day pulling your paints up all ready

Folks Glenn has more stuff in his pockets than most have in there tool boxes
And his wallet is so big he puts it in his front pocket becuse if it was in his back pocket he could never sit down with out falling over sideways.
He is good to have around if you are working on something he saves you from making a lot of trips to the shop

  But what will the girls take at the clubs? 
Sorry, I couldn't resist. 

[glenn kangiser]

Squirl.... [ouch]

Alright you guys......... 

Just remember.... if you decide to put a potato in your pants before you go to the club, it goes in the front of your pants.... not the back....

   My son-in-law says that they will not take anything less than a five spot.   At least that is what his friends tell him . . .    Right!

I think we can imagine what happens to a bikini stuffed with silver dollars.

This paints a rather disturbing mental image.

[glenn kangiser]

Sorry about that, PP.......

Too much in the pockets, not enough bum and belt too loose.....

[Homegrown Tomatoes]

Let's take up a collection to buy Glenn some suspenders.....

[glenn kangiser]

Can't wear them, Homey... I'm a mountain man... our women and anyone else in the back line of sight has to suffer through it......
