Dear Mr. Bill, Several thoughts occured to me.....when this pie is won its probably going to take two mailmen to deliver the box of cents to Mr. Jones, lol.........I should of figured I couldnt foolish you by bidding in CENTS..............Mr. Mole still has his fingers in this pie........and if Mr. Kenny get involved he will probably bid the britches off us..........2,700 pennies and 2 quarters...Regards papabear

papabear---Word from the North Country is Mr. Mole probably wont have his fingers in any pies without rubber gloves on--word is Debbie cought him--with his fingers in a pie and smacked his fingers with a mixing spoon --then made him stand in the corner for a long spell. I belive Mr.Mole learns very fast. I think Mr.Kenny (aka pie mounger) might not--------- be a problem ---IF he hears all these pennys rattling around -----HIS in-stink to count will take over ----- His pie eating wants -------- and we may sneek this one through.----OF course there may be a ringer or two along the way ---and we will end up with pie on our faces and not in our bellys. ----Sure do hope none of the mailmen go postal on us having to carry all the change to Mr. Jones. ----- 2700 pennies-----7 dimes and a nickel.

Dear Mr. Bill, I hope the rubber gloves Mr. Mole is wearing to handle pies arent his fox scat collecting gloves......Ole pie monger must be scratching around in his beard, like a mad man with fleas trying to figure out how to convert his pie cash stash into pennies...... as for the possible "ringer".........I have several nearly empty bait/lure jugs full of pennies......... 2800 pennies and 5 nickels......Regards papabear

papabear---I dout if Mr.Moles gloves are anything but compleatly clean----The word is he wants nothing to do with that corner in the room ----EVER AGAIN-----I also have a stash of pennys---Keep them in a double layered canvis bag that doubles as a boat anchor in the summer.-----I have to admit I am jest a little worryed about the post office dept.-----having to carry the pennys to Mr. Jones. --- Got a bad feeling there.----The pie monger is probably on full aleart by now---I hear tell he called his accountant --- but found out he likes pie also. OH WELL ----2800 pennies 6 nickels and a thin dime.

Dear Mr. Bill, Looks like we might be up a proverbial creek with no probable means of perpetual motivation, lol..........How big a boat can that canvas bag of pennies you got, hold from drifting?.....are we talking a canoe or perhaps something a little bigger.....oh say maybe the size of the U.S.S. Arizona......4000 pennies, 2 dimes and 1 nickel........Regards papabear

Has anyone given POOR WAYNE any though-----we may mess up his back if this continues like it has been going.

Dont know about anyone elses paper and pencils ---but it kept me laughing for a while----cant scratch my head until I get the stiches out. I think Wayne will not worry about the weight of the pennies but ---the counting them out may cause a cross word or two.especially if hes bothered.----BY the way I think his wife (Waynes) usually has a pie to auction off---that should be comming. We better not use all our math skills up all at once. I know my fingers and toes are getting tiard of being counted.
