I saw this on TeeVee.  The wife was happy, because she's already found some rare pennies in it.  She's washing them, and then searching.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE A PENNY?

About 2.5 cents.

If you`re an average working man or woman in the US, you probably know what is a penny and how one looks. But how much does it really cost to make it ? Without giving it too much thought you’d say it shouldn’t cost more than the actual penny value. This isn’t the case, it costs more making a penny than its value. Why would the US government spend more to make a penny than it would get from its value? It’s easy: the coin will be used in a lot of transactions, so the cost does worth it when you think about it.

He could sell them back to the treasury for double the price, and they would both make money.

They hang around the Castle, but I haven't had to shoot any yet....

One of my former students keeps a .22 mag Rifle next to the kitchen door. when she lets her 12 lb dog out in the evening. the gun goes with her. so far she has had to put down 3 of them in 5 years. I asked her if a .22 mag wasn't kind of light for a coyote. She said one shot in t he head is all it takes. She is one heck of a good shot.

US man returns from swift shopping trip to find 15,000 bees in his car
New Mexico man did not initially notice giant swarm, which had got in through an open window while he was inside supermarket
April 1, 2021
The Guardian (U.K.)

A man who went shopping in New Mexico returned to a car filled with 15,000 honey bees who had apparently got in through an open window while he spent 10 minutes buying groceries.

Astonishingly, the man – who was not named in the New York Times report detailing his unexpected travel companions – did not notice the sudden presence of a giant swarm of buzzing insects on his vehicle’s back seat until he was driving away.

“Then he turned back and looked and like was ‘holy cow’,” Jesse Johnson, an off-duty firefighter and paramedic whose hobby is beekeeping, said of the man’s reaction in an interview with the paper. “He called 911 because he didn’t know what to do.” ...

Not unusual when the bees are following a queen to make a new colony, I had smaller swarms three times in trees at a home in Anaheim. It was unnerving in a tree in the yard, I can't imagine it inside my car especially if I started to get in before I noticed.

Nearly naked man was doing ‘walk of shame’ after cheating on his wife

Brian Niemietz  7 hrs ago



A South Carolina man wearing only a “clear bag over his genitals” while walking around with a joint in his hand told Spartanburg police he’d cheated on his wife and was doing “the walk of shame” as penance.

According to a police report posted to The Smoking Gun, Michael Boatman told cops he had also smoked meth before going on his 1 a.m. stroll. The 41-year-old was wrestled to the ground after telling police he had to complete his walk, trying to wander away and ignoring verbal commands to stop.

HOW did he manage to walk from Florida to South Carolina while dressed with only a clear bag over his genitals?

I love karma.

I support the police on this one.  When you see a naked man holding a clear bag plasitc covering a hard-on while walking around with a joint in his hand... I take it he's not out collecting for the Red Cross.

Am I the only one who can't accept the notion of calling a person with testicles "she"?

Transgender woman, 24, is forced to have testicle removed after it became twisted in agonising injury caused by 'tucking'

    Trans woman, 24, gave herself testicular torsion by tucking them into her body
    She was admitted to hospital in Davao City, Philippines, because of the pain 
    Doctors explained removing both testicles would cause permanent infertility

A transgender woman needed to have one of her testicles removed because of her habit of 'tucking' – made famous through hit TV show Ru Paul's Drag Race.

The unidentified 24-year-old, from the Philippines, had not yet undergone full gender reassignment surgery.

The avid cross-dresser pushed her testicles back into her stomach four times a week ever since becoming an adult, in an effort to hide her genitals.  ...

Not at all. I have known some women who have "balls", but that is a figurative term, not literal, and often one of respect. That being >ahem< twisted resulted in some progress toward the apparent identity this person craves (but will never attain) seems pitifully  ironic to me.

Thus sounds EXACTLY like the type of enterprise our federal government would be involved.  They  figure they can make up the difference in volume.
