Exchange rate

At least ours is shiny! And it makes my pants jingle and sound very Christmassy!

Yeah, it may be shiney, but there is a reason it is called "looney"

And I bet you have a tough time carrying $50.00 ca, (which is worth about $100 american now).

I kinda figure that is how the kids get the style of wearing their pants around their knees

With the exchange of $1 Canadian = $.95 USD at closing today, I'm not to sure about your arithmetic.

Smitty,
Was kind of a joke. Back in the late 90's, if you went to canada, the exchange rate was about $1.78 ca to $1.00 us.

I got a big suprise when I went to a place called Le Bifteque just outside Quebec City.

The waiter gave me a free dessert of my choice when I told him I was paying in us.
He also said if he had know, service and the food would have been much better (although I still do not know how, as it is still some of the best fillets I have ever had)

Now, our friends up there laugh at us for the turn around.

Ed, thanks for pointing it out to him.

I know that

I must apologize, I thought my response would signal that I knew it was a joke....must be getting old..

Ed. Hyperbole can indeed be used for humor, the problem is you sometimes have to wait forever for the audience to get it.:biggrin::biggrin:
