So I have been collecting money from my students for an upcoming History Day competition, and one of my sophomore girls paid her $10 entry fee with a five, two ones, and three big old Eisenhower silver dollars!  I asked if she was sure she wanted to spend those, and she said, yeah, her mom gave them to her to pay the entry fee.  Needless to say, I put three ones in the contest envelope and took the three Ikes for myself! (Two of them were even Bicentennial year!)

So, I was showing them to my 8th grade class, and I explained that, if the U.S. Gov't would simply stop issuing $1 bills and go to nothing but dollar coins, it would save over $1 billion a year (bills have to be replaced every six months; coins typically have a life span measured in decades).  Then one of my 8th grade boys piped up:
"No ones?  But what if you go to a strip club?"
As the responsible adult in the room, I know what I should have said.  But, what came out of my mouth instead was:
"Ones?  What are you, a cheapskate?"

Yeah, I may get a phone call about that one!

Wishing everyone a sweet Valentine's Day tomorrow, spent with someone you love, or at least someone with whom you are married.

[Fox Sake]

OMG I forgot at about Valentine's Day!

But then again we never bother with it, which sounds harsh, cheap and bah-humbugish. That said, I might go the extra mile and make my partner an extra cup of coffee or something really unexpected - like an extra rasher of bacon or slice of toast.

I sure know how to treat a girl, lol

But happy Valentines to everyone else wishing to celebrate it.

[Alex]

Since we got married on the 12th, we don't tend to do much for valentines either.

I am so glad Kristi doesn't like 50 shades though as I know a lot of my friends are being dragged by their partners to go see it tonight.

Seeing a report on a new black material, that is blacker than anything else other than a black hole. Dammit, you mean I need to get all new tee shirts now?

I'm only wearing black until they invent a darker color.

P. S.  Look up vanta black.

When a woman says she's "thinking of considering" something, that's a pretty definite commitment, right?

I'm decrepit enough to remember when vending machines didn't take dollar bills!

We recently got some fancy new machines at work - If you put a five dollar bill in the the change comes back in those  Sacagawea dollar coins. Sometimes you even get a Susan B Anthony one.

Nope, but if we are "seriously thinking of considering" something, then that is probably a definite maybe

You're showing up as a guest. Did you delete your account without thinking of considering it first?

I was heading downstairs when I heard a plaintive cry from the kitchen. "My favourite kitchen utensil just broke my mum need to bring me a new one!"

That one message changes a lot depending on where you put any full stops.

What follows is a logical, complete sentence:
