Stewing a hippo would require a very large stockpot.

My mom made me take typing. She told me I could use it as a fall back... in case I ever needed to get a job as a secretary. At the time... neither of us knew how handy it would become. I can also sew a stuffed hippotamous. Should you ever need one. I took home economics, and typing.

It's one thing to bank on the idea that your teller might be an idiot (falling under the "you never know" policy), but to push that envelope when the jig is clearly up is pretty much a request for a police record—which he undoubtedly already had, so no harm, no foul. I, too, loved this post, and not just because you said you wanted to buy me stuff in it. It reminded me of fun factoids I learned courtesy of you on our very first date, back before we knew we were dating.

I actually had someone pay with a silver certificate 2 dollar bill a few weeks ago at a game. I put two real dollars in the drawer and put the other in my pocket.

I love those bikes too, but alas I am afraid they would remain hanging in the garage more than I would get around to using them. Lastly, I am looking forward to seeing that movie sometime. I read the book and sadly agree with his view of the world. I would love to have any of those currencies that are legal, right about now they would come in very handy.

What kind of bill are you going to pay with Chapin? I'd go small. Gold standard, though. Awesome. What kind of bill are you going to pay with Chapin? I’d go small. Gold standard, though.
