Sure! They're likely worth more, for rarity: from Google: Wooden nickels became popular in the 1930s though they may date back as far as the 1880s. During the Great Depression, banks in both Tenino and Blaine Washington issued emergency currency printed on thin shingles of wood due to coin shortages. > GP> -= 1 =- > GP> I have bad news and good news.

That'd do it! If someone asks you, "Are you ticklish?" it doesn't matter how you answer, they're going to touch you.

Microsoft ha to be the only OS company who makes software that's incompatible with the systen(their own) it's meant to run on! Visra was a pip: I'd close MSIE when done & I'd get a popup "Internet Explorer has closed. . .restarting" (DAHELLL???) I recall back in Windows 3.0 there was the ubiquitous "Unavoidable Application Error"(the infamous "UASE") which locked everything up (much like a BSD in later(98&ff) versions) In 3.12 they bragged, big-time "We've fixed the UAE, you'll no longer hgave these errors." Fixed = changed the name to General Protecton Fault (GPF--divide by zero by any other name) No excuse, when I programnmed (Vic=20, in BASIC) I checked all my integers, variable contents, & equations for validity. That's part of the job! & t ht was without getting paid.

Old budy would set a mirror up on the table when dining alone. He explains to the waitresses who ask, "I like to eat with good looking people & have intelligent dinner conversation" Another guy went to the snootiest restaurant in Calgarty. When the waiter asked howe he wanted his steak he said, "Just blow its nose, wipe its arse, & lead that ****** in here!" That was a correct response in Cow Town. > ...
