A Weds Oct 29 time to go home from work question
Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but
it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to? |

I always thought that Penny was the Patron Saint of Whinging, always ready to soak up your miserable, self-indulgent thoughts. So, last time someone offered me "Penny for your thoughts", I punched them in the neck. Rude buggers, accusing me of whinging...[mumble grumble...].

People would much rather pay 2 cents to hear themselves talk than to pay a cent to hear someone else.

Marc (A dollar for your pastry?)[/QUOTE]
A dollar! Only a DOLLAR!, for finely crafted pastry. Consider the sensuous flour used, gently milled by willing llama grinders, the pure clear water filtered though finely matted squirrel fur, the gracious untainted lard provided by a newly slopped pig, freshly laid eggs from orgasmic chickens and the filling, oh so delicate masticated lovingly by transient lemurs. Then the indigent ingredients exactly portioned kneaded by little chipmunk feet into a delicate flakey dough with the filling generously dolloped into the center by swooping pelicans and singeingly baked in the hammers of heck ovens. AND you are only offering a DOLLAR! A cruet for your thoughts. |

I'll take one. Even at $2, it's still cheaper than Starbucks. With much higher quality ingredients, I might add.
