What's with all the Texas Quarters?

[northzax]

seems like the only change I see anymore from the Bank (and I work in a store, we get a lot from the bank) are the freakin' Texas quarters. I don't remember this many from any other state.

anyone else notice this?

7. I Got One Here In Austin

Hey, by the way...y'all did know that the production of the Texas quarter was delayed, didn't ya?

See, they had a problem with the original design, which had been submitted by an Aggie. They couldn't get vending machines to take the new Texas Quarters. They had trouble, because of the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together...

(Gotta be a Texan to understand this joke, I think...)

An Aggie...for you non-Texans...is a person who went to Texas A&M University. Which is full of redneck morons. Who can't even stack up logs for a bonfire properly.

Our Governor, Prick Perry, is an Aggie. 'Nuff said about the kind of mentality that goes into, and comes out of, Texas A&M...


HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!!

[northzax]

9. A&M? never heard of it

it that like Texas Tech?

[GOPisEvil]

10. It's the oldest public university in the state.

Texas Tech wishes they could be A&M. ;-)

[northzax]

11. ouch, isn't that kinda like saying

G Gordon Liddy wishes he could be Rush? :)

[GOPisEvil]

12. Given the political climate at each university,

yep. :-)

[northzax]

13. well, good to know you escaped relatively unscathed

from the local cow college!

:)

[GOPisEvil]

14. There are about 4 or 5 us A&M escapees here at DU.

We're definitely a rarity. :-)

17. Obviously, You Did Not Get Touched By It, Too Much Then...

Because I know you IN PERSON, and you are actually a nice guy, not a redneck, and not a foaming at the mouth, rightwingnut..like most who go to A&M...
In fact, if you hadn't said this, I'd never have known you were an Aggie.
See that...there ARE exceptions to every rule!!

16. Before you tell an Aggie joke,

you have to call the Aggie Hotline at 1-800-AGGIE-IQ

My husband, a native Texan, asked me to post this.

[mermaid]

18. HEY...

Don't try that one on me...there is no "Q" on the phone dial...I am smarter than that. 6 is "MNO" and 7 is "PRS" There is no Q or Z on the telephone. So how would I dial 1-800-AGGIE-IQ??

22. You pass the test! n/t

20. My degree is from UT

Govenor Good-Hair can go Cheney himself.

I used to like Aggies once upon a time.

3. Haven't seen that one yet.

Just got a Florida one the other day. I was surprised there wasn't a ballot box on it.

[Political_Junkie]

4. Why would there be?

They don't believe in the ballot box.

[OpSomBlood]

5. The original design for the Florida quarter was much cooler:

6. And talk about BORING...

:boring:

Our quarter sucks.

[mermaid]

19. I Agree

Our Quarter DOES suck. they shoulda put Davy Crockett and The Alamo on ours.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. I haven't seen a Texas Quarter yet

I've seen all the other states, including Michigan-and I live in Arkansas.
