True. The oldest Scottish purse in current use was Carbon-dated to
4004BC and shows no trace of wear whatsoever.
(Owned by Hamish McBaked-Bean, who buys them singly.)Please note that Scrooge
McDuck had to immigrate to America first,
before he became stinkin' rich.

What is the subtle difference between "stinkin' rich" and
"steenkeen' rich"?

You simply can't go back further than 4004 B.C., fer sure. *Ne Plus
ultra. *Bishop Ussher sez so.

Indeedy. And wondrous that the Creation took place just after the TV
Evening News, and before supper.Of course, your spelling and pronunciation of "steenkeen' rich" is
correct, and mine just a pale American (English) rendering of the
actual Scots phrase.

This is clearly a phrase which is understood World-wide, and if I wanted
to throw rotten eggs at them I could do it on any continent.
This is very good!

Some creationists who came after the good Bishop further nailed the
creation down to 9AM on October 3, 4004 B.C.

I am not sure if this is a Julian date or a Gregorian date and am
uncertain whether or not the hour is based on Mesopotamian time-zones
or upon GMT.

"Steenkeen" rich is what most Americans would like to be.

Oh - GMT definitely, so the English colonialists can claim the honour.

Mmmm ... I reckon I am happier with the Scottish outlook. Much simpler

No Billy the troll-spotter told me not to see that one, he said it
would hit too close to home.

I once worked with a guy that we affectionately called "old Brain
Dead".

As I recall, the movie "Elk Hunt" was all grainy and shot in a
monochrome black and white film. It seemed better that way.

(Consults IMDB)
Was it by any chance a 1916 film titled "Are you an Elk"?
