What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?
Funny you should ask because the Phools are BACK with Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece crime thriller NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!!! And they're fighting about it!!!
A man stumbles across two million in drug money, therefore he must run from a deranged psychopath determined to get it back, therefore a tired old sheriff grapples with life's big questions. Like is this country even for him?
Before the Oscar winning movie featuring Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Woody Harrelson. One of the greatest authors of all time wrote the screenplay, that became the novel, that the Coen Brother's then used as a screenplay!!!
The Phools are ready to lose EVERYTHING on a coin toss!!!

The Phools may not have hot crossed buns, but they sure have some hot cross puns. Haha! I’m getting fired…
