Good Lord. It looks like about a 20 oz bottle, so it should be about a dollar. Maybe a buck and a half of your money. Are cigarettes $4 each?

 

Benson & Hedges Smooth Dark Blue 20s

$48.99
 
So nearly $50 for 20 cigarettes ($2.50 each- that's about $1.60USD).
 
and a can of Coke
 
Coca Cola
375mL 24pk
$2.49 each
 
So, about the same as a cigarette? 
 
So, the pic wasn't too far off:o

Yeah, but wouldn't combining cigarette singles with, maybe, beer singles sell better?

Dude: it's a smoke and a coke. A visual joke on a language alliteration not a statement on economical marketing.

Is that $2.49 for a 12 oz can or $2.49 for 24 pack of 12 oz cans? One is a dime each which is pretty damn cheap, but the other is $55 a case and that's insanity.

 

If Coke is $55 a case, how much does beer cost?

Need a little help here people. I tried potatoy,  potatoie, and potatoey. None of them look right.

 

Asking the correct way to spell it is probably dumb because I don't think it's a real word, but how would you spell it?

There are other definitions that are definitely NSFW

Its $2.49 if you buy one can and $35.99 for the case of 24.

 

This is Australia clearly beer is going to be cheaper than Coke, or water for that matter:rolleyes:

 

 

Each
$2.49

Case (24)
$35.99

Dude, I realize that already.

 

But...

 

The Aussies bring up their national passion for beer drinking about every 3rd page and, based on my experience with the Australians I've met, it's completely accurate.

 

Then, there's the stories my Dad brought back from Viet Nam of the Aussie logistics outfit that was adjacent to his company's area and their hard drinking and hard fighting ways.  

 

First, there was something about them digging mortar pits as soon as they arrived and their staying up all night taking fire missions.  He's told me a thousand times that, 'You couldn't walk near the mortar pits for the empty beer cans and empty boxes for the mortar shells.'

 

The Aussies impressed him as much as the RoK troops.

That's its back right leg Alpo

I tried to convince myself that was a hind leg. But it looks more like it's coming out the middle of his butt then it does out of his thigh.

 

Could be camera angle, I suppose.

That one could've been taken down the road.

 

Except the grass is fresh cut- and there'd be a number 10 can half full of sand and cigarette butts near one of the front legs of the chair.  And she doesn't have a can of Coors Lite in her off hand.

My second look at this picture has me seeing the horizontal kangaroo kicking the vertical kangaroo with both hind feet.

 

"Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

Those kicks were fast as lightning"

 

But when I first looked at it, it appeared that the vertical kangaroo had hold of the horizontal kangaroo's back legs and was spinning around in a circle, preparing to release the horizontal kangaroo and fling him out into the water.

 

I thought it was photoshopped. :rolleyes::P

The back porch at my Dad's house has a faint set of dog tracks leading to the back door in the concrete.  They are so faint that the porch has to be wet for them to be noticeable.
