Jim’s Daily Rant. Coke In A Dixie Cup.

When I was 10 I was a troublesome kid and my 9 siblings voted me off the island. I was given a job working after school on the waterfront scraping barnacles off boats and janitoring in my Uncles Boat and outboard motor store. I enjoyed it very much. I got to see the adult world early.

I loved going “for coffee” at a small Eat Em Up place across the street and listen to them just chat. One day I ordered a large Coke and they served it with an empty Dixie cup. One co-worker asked me if I thought the whole bottle would fit in the cone shaped cup. I said “never”. So he bet me a Dollar on it.

I slowly poured the entire Coke into it. It held every drop. I tried to pay him but he refused it. Instead he said “Let that be a lesson to you. Never play another man’s game.” He then said last week he wondered the same thing and tried it.

I learned the lesson well and only slipped-up one time in my life to remind me. I once took a chance on a beautiful Indian blanket; she got pregnant. I'm only being serious.

Today I saw this article Massive selloff in gold and silver. Makes LITERALLY ZERO sense. GOLD the hedge for geopolitical instability is crashing in the face of geopolitical instability.  The only ones to win this big bet is the Banksters with their foot on the pedal to make the wheel turn back the other way at just the right time.
