Erby Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 "Cold hard cash. It's good everywhere you go, right? You can use it to pay for anything. But that's not the case here in Louisiana now. It's a law that was passed during this year's busy legislative session. House bill 195 basically says those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions, and it flew so far under the radar most businesses don't even know about it." http://www.klfy.com/story/15717759/seco ... 8.facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 It's wrong and essentially unenforceable. A new level of stupid and unconstitutional bullying by a self important ruling body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I bet the intention was to stop Pawn Shops from buying stolen property and to also help stem the sale of copper and other stolen metals at scrap yards. Who knows, but then again it is Louisiana and the state does have a colorful history of legal woes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 You have to be a politician to accept an envelope or suitcase full of cash. Just ask Spiro Agnew (uh oh, showing my age again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 It's to keep transactions on the books, i.e., traceable. Sales tax. I couldn't find couillons, but I'm assuming it's a derivation of "dirtbag". What dictionary did you find it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Webster's online dictionary has a good definition for it. Not too harsh to use in the wife's presence but strong enough to drive the point home among French Canadian descendants who are familiar with it. I lose half of my vocabularly when the ladies are around. My ability to verbally express myself plummets to that of a fourth grader. 'Couillon' helps with that problem by affording me a convenient term for all the %*#@! that I need to express without having my distinguished standing dismantled in the minds of any fillies that may be within earshot.

Mark P Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 couillon (pronounced: koo-yon), means imbecile, fool, crazy person, or funny person. It can also be used as an adjective that would mean foolish, crazy, or funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkenney Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 The exception is politicians who store their unearned cold hard cash in freezers. Didn't we just go through that a while ago down there? Or was that some other state? No matter they're all the same anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stubbed my toe on this putain cabinet".Marc, where you are, you should stick with couillon. [] http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=poutain Erby, maybe a good time to start recirculating the old Confederate currency. How about paying with baseball cards? Then they can sell the baseball cards in Kentucky for cash. The economy will just go further underground. Now even legit businesses will start hiding cash, not legal to declare it. What a brilliant piece of legislation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
