I remember 10th grade chemistry, we did a lab that involved testing how some type of acid reacted with a pre-1982 penny versus a post-1982 penny, the point that the acid would react differently with the different metals. On the lab report it had a spot to write the years and the city the penny was minted of the two pennies tested, with a note that P = Philidelphia, D = Denver, and no mint mark = Washington, D.C. We got a bonus point if we pointed out any errors on his handouts, so I told him that no mint mark = P and that pennies don't have P mint marks. He insisted I was wrong, so I had to drop it, and being the nerd I was mad I never got my bonus point! (on the lab I refused to write Washington, D.C. and put no mint mark = Philidelphia, forgot if he wrote anything) Also mad that on that same handout he had " its' " which I told him was not supposed to have an apostrophe, which he also didn't believe me (It's possessive!). (As you can tell I didn't like this teacher lol). Edited by hugemistake2003 04/29/2008 8:37 pm

Nope. It's an inside joke that you would understand if you are a fan of a certain television show... I was hoping other people would share any stories of their own. (I changed the title to make this more apparant).

Gob on Arrested Development used to say "I've made a huge mistake" a lot...  Man, I loved that show... but I can still watch the re-runs on HDNet...  Other than the "its a cent not a penny" argument, I have nothing else to offer!

TV ?....how about MOVIES ?......I love both but I'm lost on how this applies to "funny things non-coin collectors say" ? Remember in "Dances With Wolves" how when Kicking Bird was trying to pronounce John Dunbars name he said..."Dumb Bear" instead of Dunbar ~! how about some of these....... Last of the Mohicans Cahill U.S. Marshall Rio Bravo Rio Lobo Unforgiven The Good, Bad & the Ugly Jerimiah Johnson (I've been to his gravesite) The Mountain Men Most of Randolf Scott movies The Assisination of Jesse James-- Wyatt Earp Tombstone Rooster Cogburn Open Range Joe Kidd Who Shot Liberty Valence The Shootist McClintock Lonesome Dove Lonesome Dove tv series Geronimo Crazy Horse The Education of Little Tree Thunderheart The Outlaw Josey Wales Little Big Man How the West Was Won How the West Was Won tv series Centennial (best western tv series of all time) A Man Called Horse Fort Apache Drums Along the Mohawk The Battle of Cable Hogue
OOPS !......I was tryin' to be funny and I guess I got a little carried away here....Ha Ha
