America's Hat Gets Too Big For Its Head

[captainsblog]

I hereby offer a reward of Twenty Dollars* (in the form of a donation to your favourite charity) to the first reader of this page who can document to me an actual advertisement (print or broadcast- you can fake too much shit on the Internet, sorry) by a Canadian establishment using the exact phrase

American money accepted at par.

After all the good years when we used the flip side of that as an inducement to get donut-eatin', eh-sayin', factory outlet shoppin', curling playin', high stickin', one A.M. bar closin', buyin' gas by the liter and Molson by the two-four, low tipping Gordy McGordies to come spend their formerly worthless money in our godforsaken wasteland, I figure it's just a matter of time before the damn showoffs throo it back in our faces, eh?

It hasn't been at par since 1976. Jesus Christ, Dubya- even Jimmy Carter couldn't break the country THIS bad.

* Sorry, but it'll be 20 USD, so get in early while that still might be WORTH something.
