"See a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck." I grew up with that little saying, and I still get a little zing of delight when I find a penny. I always stoop to pick it up, my mind repeating the superstitious poem, a smile lighting my face.
Today I found a penny on my afternoon walk. It was lying next to two used condoms. Since I was walking along a creek in a park, it was rather an odd location for all three items, but I guess love--or more likely lust--trumps all common sense. There's poison oak around there. Just sayin'...
Anyway, I wonder if the presence of the condoms increases the luck of the penny. After all, someone obviously got doubly lucky there...I picked up the penny of course. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
