Not me. Someone, somewhere, is bagging up rocks and selling them.  888high58888
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It does also make some sense when one realizes that there are plenty of artificial or synthetic stone products out there, so selling natural - i.e., non-manufactured - stones as such is not completely ridiculous.

That being said, the image is a little funny.

@DCPatriot

It all started back when I was talking to my buddy, walking along... I remember the very moment... I stopped and bent over to pick up a quarter and did that old man grunt-talking thing as I bent over to pick it up...

It's been downhill ever since. Now I see a quarter on the ground I say, "Hey, there's a quarter!"  And keep on walking.

I ain't found a grabber that can pick up a quarter from a sidewalk... yet...  :laugh: :shrug:
