I'd go with a fifteenth century ducat for the bribe. I may even get a Doug like for such a great suggestion.
I doubt it. Easy - just search for SGS. An you might just as well expect a like when you are "pushing up daisies". Which we all (well some of us - hmm - a few of us ---hmm--- I am sure someone) hope is a long time from now.
@Treashunt Follow my wife's post and tell Doug that sometimes your wife would rather have hemorrhoid surgery than be around you. It might catch him off guard again.
Getting him to ALMOST give a like has made my home life interesting to say the least. Someone who shall remain unmentionable has started looking over my shoulder and whistling with a smug grin.
I'm reminded of this: “Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.” ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Your "plan" worked very well. Yet, there is an upside: "A happy wife makes for a good life.
Just put one at each end of a roll and fill the rest of the roll with modern clad and pass it off as an original roll. Fool proof plan.
I fully encourage all of our newer members to take a moment and post to this thread, in honor of Doug's 1,345th birthday.
