TX Quarters now COLLECTORS ITEMS!!

Recommended Posts

AggieDave isn't going to like me....BUT:D:D


Hold on to your Texas quarters!!!

They may become collector's items.

The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling
the new Texas quarters. "We are recalling all of the new Texas
quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Russell
Shackelford said in a press conference Monday. "This comes in the
wake of numerous reports to this agency that the quarters will not
work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones,
or other coin-operated devices. We believe the problem lies in a
design flaw," said Shackelford.

The winning design for the Texas quarter was submitted by Texas A&M student
William Doutrieux. Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and a
nickel
together keeps jamming the coin operated devices."

Typical Texans



No, no no!

Duct tape is way beyond typical texans. They keep trying to rip off a fourth of a dollar bill.



Rip? Why? We all have pocket knives. Some Texans even carry hunting knives...:P

That joke is grossly unfair to Texans by suggesting that they're stupid!

I hope you're ALL ashamed of yourselves for laughing at that.:P

Anyway, Texans don't need quarters, nickels & dimes. That's because EVERYTHING in Texas is priced in whole dollars.... It stops a Texan cutting part of a finger off when he's counting up how much it is:D.

It's the same as having nothing in Texas that costs more than $11 - it saves them taking their shoes off to count.

Totally untrue; that's why Texans are all poor; we take pride in our beer!



Absolutely! Despite my well publicised opinion of Texans, I am more than happy to confirm that Texans WILL spend freely on beer.

Then again, if YOU had to make a choice between "Imported" and "Lone Star"[:/] money would probably cease to be an object...

Imported? You mean they make real beer outside of Shiner, Texas?:P



Yes, In Denmark and a couple of spots in Germany. That's about it though.

I'd add Belgium to the list, Jim. :)
And I have yet to drink any decent beer from Shiner, Texas, despite trying some. :S

Okay, I have to admit that Shiner is NOT my favorite beer, I prefer lighter beer. But it's the ever-popular beer of Texas, whether because of taste or just the pride that it's a Texas beer...:)

Err... OK Robin, this may come as a bit of a shock to you but in Shiner (which is spelled with an excess of "n"s and a shortage of "t"s) they make a liquid called "Lone Star". In the rest of the world (rest of the world being defined as that little place outside of Texas) they make a liquid called "Beer". It has alcohol in it and it has a taste.

When you drink "Real Beer" you get drunk and want to hug everyone - people outwith your immediate family.

When you drink "Lone Star" you want to shoot in the general direction of traffic signs under the (mistaken) impression that they are small furry animals of some description.

Drinking "real beer" has its risks. The Surgeon General states that drinking "Real Beer" to excess can lead to you having casual sex with complete strangers (wheras drinking "Lone Star" leads you to have se.... Y'all know the rest:ph34r:).

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I have no idea where you get your information dude, but i agree that Lone Star is worse than Clydesdale piss. It's not Shiner though, and as far as I know, is not made in Shiner either.

Lone Star crap:http://www.puretexanbeer.com/ourbeer.htm

Shiner (I happen to prefer Shiner Bock. I have to say it is among the best beers I have ever had, and I have had more than my share if different beers.):
