The Euro is at a ten year low against the U.S. Dollar.

Terrorism dividend? Nope, it's been dropping for a year.

I get paid in USD, so me likey.

I admit that economic theory is not my strong suit, so what does this mean for me, an ordinary 'Merican? That my next purchase of lederhosen and pomme frits is going to cost me less the next time I'm slumming through Mannheim?

Denim jeans were already $100.00 when I got here.

I guess these guys will have to shell out more for rap gear and Comedy Central.

Maybe so, but I'm still safer from gunfire here than in The Gump.

Here's the site I check for the latest rate: http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/con ... EUR&To=USD

Looks like the steak I'm having tonight will cost less than it would have last night.

I love those Wrangler relaxed fits. I pay 22 bucks a pair on Amazon and have them shipped to my to my house so I have more time to scratch my balls while watching football.

Up here in God's Country, I start shopping golf shirts in August. Bought some right before Christmas (Izod, PGA, Chaps) for around $10 or less.

They could just fire up the ol' ovens and save some Euros.

They'd have to scrub all the Jew residue out of them first.

Dignity and all, ya know.
