I thought this was a lot of money to spend on a piece of paper, until I remembered Obama’s Birth certificate.

Some where in America, there are a couple of copies still sitting undiscovered in the basement or garage. Oh look, Grandma is burning the rubbish!
All you guys who have been in the military have experienced/discovered this after you came home on leave. "Oh dear son, I cleaned up your room while you were gone!"

Why didn't you pick this one? LOL ....
That's a 356. Bali blue no less!
[If you had me see this one first, I wouldn't have appreciated the references in this commercial; I love the animated luggage!]

I remember that old series. I always wondered why they selected such a schoolmarmish actress to play the part of Lois Lane.
