Or condoms?

I don't think that is correct. If it is legal tender, they are obligated
to
take it, or forfeit payment for the goods/services.

Oh really? Then I guess I'll have to make sure to have a video
camera with me so I can document the whole "discussion".

I can understand the large bills argument. They may not be
able to make change. But that wouldn't apply to the pennies.

It does apply to pennies. There was a famous court case where a man
paid a lawyer with $1,000 in loose pennies.

The lawyer accepted the payment, then sent him a further bill for the
$100 fee the bank demanded to count and roll up the pennies, plus $275
for the lawyer's time in arranging for the deposit. It went to court,
and the lawyer won the case, since payment in pennies was considered to
be deliberately intended to cause harm. It was affirmed on appeal to the
state Appeals Court. The payor vows to go to the State Supreme Court.

Hey, I even found an article on the very case:

Here is the opinion on the subject from the US Treasury:

Snipola of details

Then I just won't do that to a lawyer, then.

I was thinking more along the lines of simple parking tickets or
somesuch.

And that's relevant...how?

Well, you could refresh your memories about how a bunch of *******s
took in passengers from aircraft diverted into, say, Gander. But then,
that doesn't count, does it?

Wow! They they tucked their weiners into their anal cavities.

Actually, the Canadians have one of the largest military groups now
serving
in the middle east. You are unfairly criticizing them.

Just yesterday, one of their soldiers was killed in an ambush in
Afghanistan, alongside a US soldier.

The reason they have a large presence is that not only did they send
soldiers to support the fighting in Afghanistan, they also sent warships
to
the Gulf to support the blockade, and I believe they are still there
supporting continuing Naval operations. They also have a base in
Afghanistan, and their officers have a presence in Iraq through the
military officer exchange programs with the US.

Overall, numerically they are one of the larger coalition military groups
in the area.

Got some numbers?

Anybody have any ideas on how to
dispute this or had a similar experience?


Do you ever plan on going to Canada again? If not, tell 'em to ****
off...
It's not like they can extradite you, right?

No, just seize your plane if you ever set down in Canada again...have a
nice day :-)

That's his point: Not going back.
