You get a pair of one dollar loonie coins.
You tape one to the bottom of each ear lobe.
Voila, you are now
"a buck an ear".

I think there are laws about jokes like that. If not, there should be some.

Whatever you do don't head south, because then you'll be a buck ought four and ear and the whole joke is ruined. On second thought......

I take it you're going out in costume on Hallowe'en. We'll look forward to a photo.

Ohhh. Man, that's a groaner!

Congrats on the value of those ears, by the way - consistently surpassing our American Dollar these days! (Not much fun for those of us paying Canada Student Loans with US dollars - but after 4 years of it working out to my benefit, I suspect it's pay back time.)
I also long to see a photograph of this costume endeavour!

Lisa - I'll see if I can get a pic. :^) In the meantime, I thought I would disguise myself on Hallowe'en by wearing my clericals....
