the biggest whiskey bottle

this is the biggest bottle of whiskey i have ever seen. my little brother and i found it in my grandparents' basement. i put a quarter in front of the box to give you guys a sense of how big it is. also, i don't know if you can see the price tag but it says $25.00. i don't know if you guys are very savvy when it comes to whiskey prices, but that's a pretty good price for a gallon of fine scotch whiskey.

so if you get the opportunity, i advise you go back in time and by a few gallons of this stuff at this price. just be sure to use old money. if you show up with the new $20 bill and a new $5 bill, the ones where the president's heads are way bigger and the colors are a little different, you're definitely gonna get busted. then you'll get sent to time jail. and guess what spanky: no whiskey in time jail!

moneypants

today, i was cleaning my closet, which i rarely do, and i found a pair of pants that i forgot i had. i always hear people talking about finding cash in an old pair of pants or an old winter coat and it's always a bummer because that never ever happens to me. and so when i found this old pair of pants it made me think of all those jerks who are always finding money in their old stuff. so i checked the pockets and guess what! there was fourteen thousand dollars in cash in the front right pocket!

mortgage rates

i used to think i had a vague understanding of what a mortgage was. then i saw this ad. now i'm baffled. it has something to do with old people graduating and giving the V sign?

check expressions

i was ordering new checks recently and they had all these hilarious options for things you can have printed on your personal checks. i really wanted to get all of them. some of my favorites include:

  • DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
  • AND YOUR POINT IS?
  • LIVIN' LARGE AND TAKIN' CHARGE

but they cost like $3 extra so i was like "No way hose A! Maybe when i'm a millionaire."

save your receipts

it's a really good thing i save all my credit card receipts. if i didn't save them all, then how would i ever know that i went to in-n-out back in september and then never looked at the receipt again until almost all of the ink had disappeared?

not a redeemable coupon

isn't it a coupon's "redeemable-ness" that makes it a coupon? aren't coupons inherently redeemable? at least for a limited time?

that's like if i said "buy any schoolpants t-shirt and save up to $1.4 million when you buy the entire blog. but just kidding, you can't."

it doesn't make sense.

incidentally, if you have a lot of money and want this blog, please email me at Schoopants@gmail.com

cool dime!

i found this cool dime at work that's from 1937. it looks different from how dimes look now. it has like a pillar or something on the back, whereas the new ones have a torch or something.  on the front, it has a greek goddess but nowadays they have some white guy or somebody.

awhile ago, i found an old dime that looks like this one and it was from 1942, but i like this one better because it's older and 37 is my favorite number.
