Next I suppose they'll be coming for my Sedan Chair?
-They'll have it when they can pry it from the cold dead fingers of my bearers.

Calcutta plans ban on rickshaws
We knew this day would come.
Next I suppose they'll be coming for my Sedan Chair?
-They'll have it when they can pry it from the cold dead fingers of my bearers.

Ever lose anything old?
Ever lose an old coin? Maybe an old 5 cent Buffalo Nickle?
What constitutes an "old coin" to you? Does it have to be 50 years old? 100 years?
Well, Old Coins are a hobby of mine, but organization is not one of my virtues.
So I 'lost', an old coin, blah blah blah.
This coin wasn't 50 years old, or even 150 years old, the coin I was looking for was no less than One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty years old.
DAYAM! You just don't be losin' 2,000 year old scrilla and shrug'n it off!
These old Roman and Holyland coins are fairly ubiquitous among collectors, and the idea is that you try to collect the entire lines of the various Caesars, and procurators, this coin was a bronze Prutah, struck in Honor of one of the Procurators of Judea, Antonius Felix.
The coin was struck between 52 and 60 A.D. Felix was a Judge of the Apostle Paul. -Felix held Paul in jail in Caesarea (where the coin was struck) for a couple of years -it is widely held that Felix used this time to consort with the Apostle over matters of his own salvation. History accounts a covetous Felix that convinced Drusilla of Mauretania to LEAVE her husband Azizus! Gasp!
I'm not sure if the Apostle Paul was ever able to get Felix to repent and accept salvation, but after a few minutes of searching, I found my One-Thousand-Nine-Hundred and Fifty Year old Coin and all was right in the world again.
One of these days, "I need to get organi-zised"
