In Star Trek, there are no countries, and there's no money.
Everyone sees that as the perfect way to live, the ultimate in human society, but everyone's too stupid to even consider changing their ways to make its eventual implementation possible.

Um...
Gold Pressed Latinum[^] (Ferengi)
In The Trouble with Tribbles" Uhura offers to buy a Tribble for 10 credits (implying some form of currency in use in the Federation).
And in "Errand of Mercy" Spock estimates that Starfleet has invested over 122,200 credits in his training as a Starfleet officer.
Gawd, but I'm a nerd sometimes...

Ah, but it's made clear that they only use (alien) money when dealing with alien races. Roddenberry was very strict on the idea of there being no Earth currency.

Couldn't agree more. Patriotism causes just as many problems as religion. Hell NZ should be just another state of Aussie. (But it will never happen because of patriotism rather them common sense)

Despite the joke icon, which should have given it away that I was only joking, somebody seems to have taken offense and downvoted me....
That's the last time I'll wish anybody around here good luck...

A couple met at Hilton Head and fell in love. They were discussing how they would continue the relationship after their vacations were over.
"It's only fair to warn you Jody." he said. "I'm a golf nut. I live, eat, sleep and breathe golf."
"Well, since you're being honest, so will I." Jody said. "I'm a hooker."
"I see." he said. Then brightening, he smiled. "It's probably because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."

You'd reach a bigger (and probably more appreciative) audience if you made him a rugby player.

Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Movie Quote Of The Day
License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.
Which movie?

Club, please - with a Slice of bacon perhaps... 
BTW - and COMPLETELY off topic: Have you ever noticed that golf is the only sport where you can say: "I really love playing with Mary even though she's the worst hooker I've ever met" - without being a complete bastard?

As far as Birdies are concerned, I think I prefer a couple of nice tits[^] - Actually, as far as that is concerned, I am often on the prowl like a Tiger in the Woods
