Re: Coin Flip Question for Non-Americans
I had a lacrosse referee friend who had an oversized coin with the Queen of England on one side and a platypus on the other. When he would do coin tosses at the beginning of the game he'd ask the visiting captain to call "Queen or Pus"

Re: Coin Flip Question for Non-Americans
I saw his reply before yours and chose not to fix it.
"Does it get in the way when you wipe your ass?" No. Our tails came to being from too much sex with kangaroos. kangaroos have several uses: 1. Transport, great to ride around on (pouch often isn't large enough). 2. Sport, run around tackling kangaroos, fighting them, kicking them, it's all good for entertainment. That's why we're good at rugby. 3. Great for lonely nights. After a a dozen drinks a female (or even male!!) kangaroo looks pretty damn inviting. Anyway we all actually do have tails. At the bottom of our spine. |

Re: Coin Flip Question for Non-Americans
That should be "puss" (as in pussy) since it's pronounced plat-r-puss

[ QUOTE ] Or, is there some standard way to determine which side is heads for all coins? Such as maybe using the side with the mint year as heads and other side as tails? [/ QUOTE ] There are US coins with the mint year on the tails side. [/ QUOTE ] I suppose you're referring to select gold coins from the 1800s. Also, there are some US coins that don't have a head, such as the 2-cent piece, but I've never been in a coin-flipping situation with them. -RMJ |
