Here is one my grandfather used to say, who alway stopped to pick pennies up off the ground...

 ok, I got a good one (I didnt cheat by searching on google ... wink) " when faced with two choices, flip a coin. It works, not because it settles the question for you... But because for a brief momment, while the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you hope for."  |

A newish quote in Canada since the one cent was abolished two years ago: I'd give you my Two Cents worth but due to penny rounding that would be zero so I will say nothing. |

I love all the references to PENNY. Haven't heard to many people lately complaining about that name.

"Humor is the ability to see 3 sides of the same coin."
One of my favorites (aside from the one I've borrowed from Dan Akroyd) from Pulitzer Prize winner and fellow Hoosier Ned Rorem...who celebrated his 91st birthday this year!

My grandfather (born 1885) would say, "Don't take any wooden nickels." I don't know where that comes from.
My father (born 1916) would sing a song with the lyric, "When I was single my pockets would jingle, and I wish I was single again."

I find myself telling that special someone, "Forget the roses, coins last forever !" Or when my friends are heckling me over my buying a couple rolls of pennies like they were lottery tickets. "I'm a winner every time ! Unlike your lottery tickets, I still have my money and searching through a roll makes for longer lasting fun !"  |
