A little perspective.:eek:
Considering we're on the hook for these hands outs, I am not sure that made my day.

That's pretty impressive. Now....if each of you will kindly send me $5, I'll be glad to take a picture of the stack of money and post it. :D

The scary part is that Dr. Evil only wanted $100 billion for taking over the world.....

Our politicians have made Dr. Evil look like a slacker :D

That definitely didn't leave me speechless. I did say something, I just can't post it here. :D

Great idea Dennis, how about SMC members send you $5 to photograph and then you donate the money to SMC?

Put me down for $5, I'll send it in Canadian Loonies, as they will make a larger stack. PM me your postal address and I'll send them off.

(A loonie's a $1 coin with a loon on it, not people who are wandering around downtown muttering to themselves, I'm sure Dennis has enough of those loonie's since he's an SMC member.):D

Regards, Rod.

I visited my sister a few years ago and wondered - very seriously - why my money seemed to be running out faster than expected.

Of course I had my answer when I counted the change on the dresser at the end of the week. There was about $85.00 in Loonies and toonies.

Gotta smile...

a trillion there, after a while you're talking about real money. (Fmr Senator Everett Dirkson speaking about millions... a lot of years ago) :D

Eric beat ya to it last week in this SMC thread (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=107042) :).

There is nothing wrong with your post, but I'm going to close this thread so any additional comments end up in the original thread rather than split between the 2.

And that trillion is worth a little bit less than when it was first posted! ;)

If you had a trillion dollars in singles and you counted one every second it would take you 31,688 years 269 days 17 hours and 25 seconds. That is accounting for leap years of course.

Better get started!!!
