A Bit of Humor for John Miliunas

Got this from a friend who has a warped sense of humor. WAY off topic, but funny (in a Red Green sort of way) ...


Hang on to any of the new Wisconsin quarters if you have them, they
may be worth much more than 25 cents.

The US Treasury announced it is recalling all of the Wisconsin
quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each
state. The quarters are being issued in the order in which the
various states joined the US.

"We are recalling all the new Wisconsin quarters that were recently
issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This
action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will
not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay
phones, or other coin-operated devices."

"The problem lies in a design flaw," Shackleford said. The winning
design was submitted by a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student.

"Apparently," Shackleford said, "the duct tape holding the two dimes
and nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated device..."

Well, don't that just figure! I'll bet all them yahoo's at the banks have already scammed up on them and the rest of us Cheeseheads won't have a fighting chance to get our mitts on any of them before the Treasury pulls the rest of 'em! Heck, given the rarity and unique design, I'm surprised any of them made it out of the mint, in the first place! I believe I heard about that UWGB student, too. Yeah, some 27 year-old Sophomore from Iowa. Graduated from one of the high schools there in Dubuque long about '99. Someone else said he helped design the retractable roof in Milwaukee's Mill Park. Yup, a real brainiac, that one! At any rate, if any of you guys should spot one 'o them thar special quarters, couldchya' gimme' a yell? Thanks! :D :cool:
