Default CITES plants and hybrids: AOS judging & showing


I had somebody suggest that certificate thing to me as way to provide
"proof" who needed it. He did say, it would be meaningless, but if it makes
people feel good and sell plants. Actually a certificate stating that my
plants come from Antec and their association with the USBG is the same thing
as putting that statement in writing on the receipt and signing it. If it
is a true statement, it's a true statement, if it is not then it is fraud
and it has to be proven such by a conviction. You don't get extra jail time
for committing fraud in gold leaf script on velum parchment, do you?


If it isn't fraud, then no problem. Alabama is a "Bill of Sale" state
for cars older than 1973. It may be legal, but I feel so much better
when I can actually hold the title in my hand. It makes it interesting
when the classic car is registered in other states.

People are also impressed by matching envelopes tied with the red
ribbon. If you get jail time let me know. I'll bake you a cake with a
file in it. Of course, you may need to borrow a saw to get it out of
the cake. I never said I could cook.
