I thought maybe you had Scottish blood like me :)

Cheap is borrowing somebody else's library card and then asking for a ride to the library.

Brazenly cheap is doing the above and then not paying the fines for the overdue book(s). No wait, that is chicken feces, not anything to do with cheap......

I saw, in an ancient FSM, a Squadron ad featuring the Nitto SF3D kits and offering them ( the powered armor suits) for $4.99.

That was BEFORE the rerelease when the kits were rare and pricey.

Even in rerelease from HLJ they're US$20+ now..

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Golly, I guess I'll have to re-habilitate my self-image then. I have been tight with a buck in the past. Ask the ex-. When she was the financial manager she was only tight with MY bucks. It's amazing how fast the money adds up when you start squirreling the quarters away. :Þ

No, you drive a buggy with a horse.

Sorry.

I was over at my Scottish friend's house using the bathroom and I had to ask him: Where do you get that 1/4 ply toilet paper? Do you have to special order it?

LOL - very punny, Tom! But you CAN drive a horse buggy with turn signals...

It's specifically designed to allow fingers to poke through and do the major part of the job. ;Þ

Leading to that old joke: "Here comes a horse with a buggy behind!"

Bill Banaszak, MFE

Yes, but you must have a well-trained horse. Most folks use reins.

Re toilet paper commentary: Quoted from somewhere....

Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer to the end, the faster it goes..
