A penny.
2006-09-01, 3:32 PM #1
You are walking down a street or a hallway of a building. On the ground, you notice a 1 cent penny. Would you pick it up or ignore it, thinking its not worth the effort? How about a nickel?

I wouldn't pick up a penny on the sidewalk. I don't see why I should bend down and grab a dirty, copper 1 cent coin off the pavement. In hallways, maybe.

Secret ninja trick. Flicking your thumb and index finger at the right angle on a penny can send it flying at a deadly speed.

Usually people have come up with reasons and explainations before they state something.

Because you can force feed it to people and make them choke on it? Or throw it at people? Or drop it off of a tall building and see if it cuts through people? Or maybe you could drench it in some sort of flamable fluid, light it on fire and roll it into a a barn full of TNT. Or you could maybe find someone who is allergic to copper and rub it on them in his or her sleep. Though I don't think that would kill them. But it might save your life!

I aint bending down for less than 50 cents. Figure someone else who needs it more than me will eventually pick it up anyways.

Once I found a $50 note on the footpath outisde a hotel. That was worth picking up.

I'll pick it up if it's heads up. As for other change...depends on my mood.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Hmm, one penny = 1 cent. 1 cent coins were abandoned a few years back now (in Australia) and are no longer considered usable currency. I suppose if you managed to collect five of them somehow you could go to the bank and -maybe- get a five cent coin...

If it ain't silver, it don't deliver.

(My fancy way of saying if it's a penny, nah, if higher, sure.)

Imagine seeing a 100 dollar bill I can't reach. Do I ask someone to get it for me?

I'd probably pick it up, but only because my dad collects pennies.

I lol'd.

I'd probably pick it up, but if I was too lazy I'd justify it to myself by saying that I was saving it so it could make someone else's day. Or so they could slip on it and die. Whatever.

Well, in that case you would pick it up. Just with the gravity gun, so you can shoot it at the bad peoples or set it as a mine once again later.

The knowledge that I'm not the only one to do that makes me feel slightly less stupid.

When I was a kid I found $3-$4 dollars in change in the ball bit of a McDonalds Playplace. It was awesome because most of the change was quartrs so I went to the arcade.

50p and greater, I'll pick it up. I'd rather not scrabble around on the floor for coins that are basically useless.
