The SBA?
I'm just cutting and pasting - don't slam me if you're from Arkansas:
BULLETIN WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hang on to any of the new State of Arkansas quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Arkansas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.
"We are recalling all the new Arkansas quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices".
The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide.
"The problem lies in the unique design of the Arkansas quarter, which was created by a University of Arkansas graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

Why should we, that same joke has been used for almost every state quarter.
He then returns with to his head office with the store's cheque in hand, he receives a very large commission cheque. Now it seems that his lifelong dream to finish his mint-state Mercury dime collection can be realized. The next week he is traveling through a small town with only a single coin dealer, he goes into the shop and asks if the owner has a 1916D Mercury dime.
The shop keeper does have one (and only one). He goes into the back while the salesman is looking around and gets from the safe a spectacular, toned 1916D. He shows the gem of a coin to the salesman, the sun coming in through the window radiates all the colors of the rainbow off the coin, the salesman is impressed. He asks the proprietor of the shop if he might have one that is not toned. The owner says he has another one in the back.
He takes the coin from the salesman and slips into the back of the store and takes out his coin dip and dips the coin. It is now quite a nice blazing white BU. He brings this out to show the salesman. The salesman really likes the coin and mentions that he has had a good week lately and says "Great, I'll take both of them."
"Your VDB is showing!"
Okay I tried.

<< <i> How many coin collectors does it take to screw in a light bulb? >>
Answer: We don't know. They're still arguing over whether the bulb deserves to be rated at 60 watts.
<< <i>How many coin collectors does it take to screw in a light bulb? >>
One to buy the bulb, 10 that want the bulb in their lamp, 3 more to inspect the bulb, one more to verify the inspectors findings, then 15 postal workers to handle the bulb in shipping 60 days later, then one sucker on ebay that bought the 60 watt bulb because the description said 75 watts.
100Watt lightbulb could be inside!
<< <i>Light bulbs RARE!!!! L@@K!!! Original packaging Unsearched!
100Watt lightbulb could be inside! >>
That assumes that we've decided once and for all that the brightest possible bulb will be 100 watts and not 70 watts.

One. But he has to spend a year on the forum defending light bulbs as not modern crap (as opposed to candles) and try crossing it to a higher wattage rating a few times nestled in bulk submissions of a gross or so of bulbs.

There are only two actual Lawyer jokes. The rest are all true stories.
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.
She asked if the dealer had any chores she could do, and he said, "Well, what would you charge to paint my porch?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The dealer agreed, and told her the paint and everything she needs is in the garage.
Two hours later, the blonde came to the door to collect for the job.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the dealer gave her $50 plus another $50 for being such a fast worker.
"And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
