1. I hate to say it but I will anyway

those sure are a lot of ugly women they've made coins out of so far IMO. :rofl:

I don't want a gold coin with any which one of these women on it!

Have to wait until 2015 for Jackie! Drat! ;)

:kick:

6. That's some dangerous shit.

It'll crack glass.

Never use that one in a game; whoever calls "heads" will turn to stone.

4. Maybe I'll wait for Bill Clinton

I figure that's why they're calling it 'First Spouse'...

12. The title has always been First Lady it seems to me First Gentleman would be most appropriate,

what's up with that?

9. take a good look

I swear :puke: is what I say about them! :rofl:

8. Curiouser and curiouser . . .

. . . Don't want to think it's a "done deal", but when things like this happen, you can't say it doesn't make you wonder.

10. And in a thousand years, when one of them is dug up and examined...

Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 10:43 AM by mcscajun

...if there are no records to the contrary, they'll figure we had a woman president in the 19th century!

On edit: You never know: just saw the reverse on one (Martha Washington) where it says "First Lady" - will they be able to figure that out? Again, in the absence of any other records?
