We bottle water and call it beer. It's a huge industry here. :-) Luckily,
where I live, Molson is cheaper than the domestic tripe. Even better: I've
come back from Canada several times with WAY more beer than we're supposed
to have. In all instances, I've been honest with the customs guys, and they
always just wave me through. Beer is the common denominator of international
understanding.

I think that would be when a third party owes a debt to you.
That would be an asset and some companies do sell the 'note' to another
party for immediate cash.
Then again... the crazy Americans do things differently...so my thinking
may
not match what happens south of the border.

Maybe it's an asset in some companies because you can sell the debt to
another firm and MAKE money on it. Like mortgages. :-)
