Picking up pennies.
-
Fun memory I just had: My dad was a penny picker and would empty his pockets at the end of the day into one of those blue 5-gallon water jugs that he kept right at the front door by the stairs. One time when it was full, I was trying to be slick and take a lil, and knocked the jug down the stairs where it broke and pennies cascaded down them like a waterfall of copper. Dad was pissed at first but then found it funny. Whats even more funny, is that we didn't clean it up for months, we just had penny stairs, and I swear he would come home and just throw his new pennies right on the stairs. He probably would have kept it that way forever but I cleaned it up as a surprise while he was gone one day.

Reminds me.
I was not there, but a buddy of mine worked as a moving man. That day's client had done something similar, except he'd put the coins in a glass 5 gallon bottle, the kind that were used for water coolers. The client decided to show off for the movers and made to hoist the bottle up onto his shoulder. Bottom came out and coins went everywhere.
Hadn't thought of that story in a while. Thanks

That's what ours was too, the kind that goes into water coolers but it was plastic, not glass. It still exploded when I dropped it though LOL

Building off that: If you find a penny on heads its good luck. Finding on tails is bad. But, if you flip over a penny on tails for the next person to find it heads, you walk away neutral
