It makes you a comedian.

If they were crying it would make you a banker.

If they were shouting angrily it would make you a politician.

My best laughs are never to my jokes.

On an obscurely related topic, it's a good thing my parents named me Josh because that's what everyone calls me.

As a numismatist (coin collector), I was already aware of this story, but thought I would share it:

From WikiAnswers:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_did_the_te...g_you_come_from

"Just joshing you" came from the late 1800's and has a very interesting story behind it!

Josh Tatum was a deaf mute, but a very enterprising young man from the midwest. In 1883 the US Mint came out with a new nickel. It was deemed the Liberty Head Nickel and on the reverse side had a large roman numeral V stamped on it. The new nickel did not have the word "cents" or "nickel" stamped on it. Josh Tatum noticed this and the fact that it was nearly the same size as the US $5.00 gold piece, which at the time was used as common currency. With the help of a friend familiar in gold electroplating base metal, they turned these coins into a literal gold mine. Tatum went from town to town going into shops, stores & mercantiles. He was very careful not to purchase anything that cost more than a nickel, where he would hand over one of these gold plated nickels. The clerk would accept the coin, and in most instances give Josh back $4.95 in change, which he happily would take. By the time law enforcement caught up to him, he had visited hundreds of towns & had amassed a small fortune!.

The Law prosecuted him but ironcially he was found not guilty on the most serious charges, because he only purchased items that totaled 5 cents, and because he was deaf & could not speak he never represented that it was a new $5.00 gold piece.

The same year, the US mint added the word "cents" to the Liberty Head Nickle in an effort to bring this type of fraud to a halt.

Hence the famous saying "your not Joshing me are you"?

I'd be interested to hear about coin collecting in either this thread or another thread.

How did you get into it?

How large is the collection?

Any remarkable pieces in your possession?

How long have you been collecting?

Do you collect other things? Did this hobby evolve from collecting one thing into something more serious/substantial?

Madmen Season Two Episode 4 "The New Girl"

Those scenes in Peggy's apartment were amazing. Can you imagine hanging out with Bobbie Barrett for a few days? And the way she said "Do you understand what I'm saying, dear?" When's the last time you saw anything like that on TV? Or anywhere?

Reasonable but subjective evaluation.

Green Day, The Offspring for thirty-somethings, Modest Mouse, Jet, Killers etc. for twenty-somethings and Justin Beeber etc for younger BUT who buys what is advertised? Ahhhh, that explains the choice rather more effectively.

It wasn't the costume, it was the "wardrobe malfunction."
