I have a jar full of Poppy quarters on my bedroom dresser..... What stories they could tell.

Hey, islandboi:I was at Overdrive last Friday night and i see they have the BBQ on the deck going again, but was a little too drunk on MGD to take advantage of it.

You stole the poppy money from the Legion?

2

As I suspected!!! An operative for some subversive group!

No, Monique... have you not heard?

After you finish that sweater, read this.

You are in big trouble islandboi :)

5

islandboi, you need to gather some personal pride/self esteem, and stop accepting pocket change in the bedroom.
Your 'services' are worth paper money, really they are.

Is a "Poppy Quarter" the ones with the reddish pink ribbon on them??

7

It's this one box: Poppy Quarter

8

Havent come across many of them Beachie...

I think I have seen one ... Then again, I am poor, so I carry mostly pennies and nickels !

10

TP: My therapist and I will be working on the esteem.... You're right, I AM worth more than that!!!

I am truly glad there was no hidden "nano technology" in those quarters after all....... Myself and the CIA will sleep better tonight.

That is what you think ;)

I bet the CIA is having fun listening in on your bedroom antics ..

The story was waaaaaaaay better when you were stealing quarters from senior citizens who were selling poppies for Remembrance Day.

Wow. You mean we could be script writers for crappy American sit-coms? I didn't realize it would be so easy and explains the state of US television. ;)

Did you hear that, Monique?... You could get out of the 'Horse and end up in Hollywood!!!

I think you should write a story about a robot driving instructor from the future that travels back in time.

And his best friend is a talking pie....

18

It is ironic that the poppy quarter, minted to honour war dead and veterans, should have been thought something subversive!

In Flanders Fields...

Ron Howard, you've done it again!

Who coined the phrase/oxymoron "military intelligence"?

Note to islandboi:

Before crossing a border, swallow your change. That way, it'll only be a "poopy" quarter. hahahahaha! I continue to slay me!
