I kinda was thinking that respecting someone else property should be a natural part of us but I know it's not a natural part of everyone obviously. After all we don't really ever truly own anything.

I would like a cabin on the lake though.:).

Robert Heinlein said you don't truly own anything you can't carry in your arms at a dead run.

we come into this world buck naked and broke, and we leave the same way. And the s*** we think we had,,,goes to someone else if it's worth anything. I think the writer of Ecclesiastes mentioned something like that and they hit it on the head.

Nuh-uh. I'm keepin' mine.
lol....you go girl...let me know how that works out k?

It may come as a shock to a lot of people but in Canada it's against the law to put money in a coffin. :)
the only thing that would be shocking would be if someone actually did put cash in a coffin, lends a whole new meaning to buried treasure

No doubt some have tried it. I have a brother -in- law who is getting up in years, is a millionaire several times over and it pains him to spend 50 cents. His Dad is the same way and he's up in his 90s.

it's called squeezing the nickel till the buffalo S**ts
FYI there is no buffalo on the Canadian nickel-are you aware what country you live in?

The U.S. nickel with the buffalo is also legal tender in Canada, so Ludlow is totally correct with his assertion. :)

Actually the U.S. nickel containing 25% nickel is more of a valid nickel than the Canadian nickel that contains only 3.5% nickel. :)

Beaver's also s-h-i-t so only a small modification of the saying is required to use it up here in the Great White North.

Ludlow was citing an expression which has very little to do with anything factual (buffalos made out of nickel alloy don't sh*t) but Bill wasn't quite clever enough to discern that...........It comes under the heading of banter, which seems to be "foreign" to some people. :) :)

It can be slightly annoying when one receives a "red", especially when the post is factual, but nothing compared to abject stupidity of the donor! :) :) :) :)
