One of my typical lunches is two McDonalds McChickens and a medium chocolate shake. $4.97. My favorite part is getting the three cents change. Now, at the packy, they would just take 3 cents out of the cent bucket and leave me hanging. But, McDonalds works by the book. When I get those three cents in hand, I can always tell by the weight whether or not I have scored a copper. This week, it was really heavy, and I knew I had hit paydirt - 2 of 3. Now, is that geeky or what?! I know all of you guys appreciate this, but just think - not many folks in America have the copper-sense (no pun intended) that we do. Such a thrill to get these jems from change. In my area, 20% copper is remarkable, unfortunately. I thought I'd share a happy Friday night post. Cheers!

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams |

I keep meaning to test this scientifically (double-blind trials and all). Informal testing yeilds various results.
Too many Fridays may be spoiling me! |

You must have some pretty sensitive fingers.
I can tell when I have light or heavy boxes. I normally hump 4 boxes at a time under my arm and can tell the difference between 56 and 60 lbs. |
Beer is my currency. |
