That is a great quote!

I had to look too, but got a lot of returns that had Napoleon’s name! (Don’t think he said it, though)

—”Pikers. I’ve stuck more than that under g-strings in one night.”

I used to keep a wad of Zimbabwe bills and used them for a tip for a big favor at work.

One recipient used them on an evening at a gentlemen’s club.

Did he have fun!
The girl ran offstage out of the dark and screamed!
Then ran back on stage to the other girls, they all screamed!
But one knew exactly what it was.
They still had fun.

He used all of them!

They throw it on a carpet? Its not dehumanizing, its wimpish! No do it this way:

Put some CRT teachers on either team side of the rink in leather soled dress shoes. On both ends where the nets are, put in 2 Zambonis. Dump the cash in the middle of the ice, no carpet. Hit the horn and they have to run out on the rink as the Zambonis start chasing them! Now thats just good time fun!

“When I was a kid, they used to have a greased pig chase where they would slather a pig with lard and people would try to catch it with their bare hands for a money prize.”

I remember those!
Great fun to watch, even more fun to participate in. The trick is forget the body and go for the nostrils. Hook one finger in one nostril and you’ve caught your pig.
Tons of fun!

“What was it James Carville famously said about ‘dragging a dollar bill through a trailer park’?”

[He] basically stated that he had used the technique on “dependas” and found it very cost effective over other types of pogie bait.

Good thing it was on rink ice rather than a lake...

Exactly. Is it dehumanizing when they have the little ones ride sheep also. Eee Haaa. Always some twit, trying to take away people’s fun. Liberals just don’t know how to have fun, and they do not want anyone else to have fun either.

Are these the same people who complain about starving children in Biafra after every hotdog eating contest?

It would have been more fun to scatter the bills all over the ice rink and watch them slip and slide trying to pick them all up.

Hahahahaha, OMG I wish I had known that! I had never dealt with actually wrangling with a large animal more than a medium dog size.

The pig could not have been more that fifty or sixty lbs, but I remember my complete surprise at how strong and wiggly the thing was!

I was crushed, because I sure wanted that money!

I can remember when teachers were still respected members of the community.

And that is exactly the normal response before the voice of a few Karens starts yapping.

Sounds good to me, but the insurance would be expensive.

Well, to be honest hooking the nostrils is a bit of work but its the only way to catch a greased pig. And yes, those small hoglettes are quick and strong. At that age the thing is all muscle and bone.

I remember being in one contest where there were a bunch of city boys. They were diving everywhere trying to grab the pig around the body. No sale!
There was one black guy in the event. He was standing back like me, enjoying the show. We sidled along the fence until we could talk, figured pretty quick we were both farm boys.
We let the pig run the city boys into the ground before we moved in. We both grabbed the hog at the same time. After a 5 minute talk the judge awarded both of us the grand prize. The crowd kicked in enough so we both got the $100 prize. The other fella took the pig so he came out best.
