Coin Collector Humor

Excellent, captainrich!

excellent Capt! very funny (and very true)

I do not know. I have seen some kids playing on the courts nearby. Maybe too cold for the olds right now?

Only $50, what a deal!

A coin dealer drives to his shop one morning to open up. On arrival he is horrified to find the front window smashed and the door forced open. Inside, display cabinets are broken and there are coins scattered everywhere.

Taking care not to disturb anything, the dealer phones the police, who soon turn up in a patrol car. While the scene-of-crime officers are examining the shop, the sergeant interviews the dealer.

"Did you see anyone, sir?"

"No. They'd gone before I got here."

"Were there any witnesses?"

"I don't know. But you could look at the shop across the road. There's an old tramp who sleeps in the doorway. He might have seen something."

The sergeant walks across to the shop opposite. He sees a rug and an empty bottle of Bourbon. He gives the rug a kick and an elderly, bearded hobo pokes his face out and asks what the fuss is all about.

"There's been a break-in at the coin shop opposite. Did you see anything?"

"That was no break-in, sergeant!"

"What do you mean?"

"I saw everything. This elephant came along the street. It stopped at the coin shop, saw its reflection in the window and thought it was another elephant. It charged at the window and smashed up the whole shop front. Then it just walked off."

The sergeant doesn't really believe this, but thinks there's just a possibility that an elephant may have escaped from the local zoo, so he asks the tramp another question:

"Interesting. Now tell me, was it an African or an Asian elephant?"

"How do you tell the difference?"

"The African ones have big ears and the Asian ones have small ears."

"Sorry, Sarge. I couldn't see the ears. It was wearing a ski mask!"

Brilliant satire, considering the one-cent coin may be discontinued.

At least Collecting isn't the most unattractive hobby to women.

BTW, I looked it up so you don't have to: LARPing is Live Action Role Playing.
