And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
back when i was flying/traveling for work, i would tip with a folded $2 bill. virtually all of the tip-ees would glance at the bill, eyes go wide, and immediately hide it in their hand or pocket.
Of course they are. I have one stuck up next to where I'm sitting. Series 2017A. Dragging out a 50-year-old bill for a photo op, however, strains the viewer's credulity. It's like claiming a 1912 Cadillac is your daily driver.
Aesop, if you think the $2 bill is pretentious, wait until you see how much that watch costs.
If this is your EDC, you and I are not the same. No pocket knife or multitool, no 38 S&W snubby, no keys, no gum, just a money clip with a little cash, a pen, a watch, and a hanky, all of which are so absurdly expensive as to be useless for real EDC.
Apparently this guy does nothing but sign checks. And autographs maybe.
I don't have much "daily" use for any of that stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice, but they never leave the pavement.
ReplyDeleteAnd the $2 bill from the 1970s is pretentious.

ReplyDelete$2 bills are still printed. The Clemson fan base is encouraged to pay with them at away football games.

I like the Tiffany money clip, and I always have a pen in my shirt pocket but that watch is a bit too much.
