Robs from the rich to give to the poor does he?

    Less his overheads and administrative costs. And judging from the girth of Friar Tuck and size of Little John just keeping them and the rest of his ‘Merrie Men’ fed and otherwise merrie must have been considerable. Not likely they were growing their own grub in the middle of Sherwood Forest.

      Good one!

Why tell people to throw it out? Why would someone throw money in the garbage? Return it.

    “Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.” is what they said. People who don’t want to return it need to throw it out. I would probably throw it out instead of returning it. It’s not worth it to make a special trip to the store and holding on to it for a week or so until I need to go in could be trouble.
