edited: Changed "afternoon fun" to "evening fun" in title so the night folks could have a laugh. The responses have been hilarious so far.

original post:

I was cleaning up today and noticed that this catalog cover (Amos Advantage Summer 2004) didn't represent some of the smartest coin collecting habits. (coins on table, w/drinks, outside). Should make for some funny captions...

    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    "Billy, I know you wish you had your allowance back, but you said 'done deal', didn't you?"

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
