Pa. Man Barters With Bacon for Cross-Country Trip
 Josh Sankey has been issued a challenge: to make his way from New York City to Los Angeles with nothing but a smile and a refrigerated trailer filled with 3,000 pounds of bacon.

That means no cash and no credit cards. The uncooked bacon is the only currency the actor and comedian has for gas, lodging, food and everything else he'll need along the way. It's not just the bare necessities either. Sankey's managing to enjoy the sites along the way.

There is also a link in the article for one of the most interesting ideas for Bacon! What is it?  =D

Call me a prude, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable bartering bacon with a naked man.

I suppose that it's not entirely out of context (as in "places") but that's not the word that is normally used in that phrase  =|

Y'all realize that this works out to just about one mile per pound of bacon?  All things considered, that's an awfully expensive trip, what with bacon (the good stuff) going for almost as much as a gallon of gas.

stay safe.

Also, Jamie's out of the crew. He is clearly too confused for this job.
