We all have to deal with the nosey tellers looking at us like we are nuts. Yesterday i was at the bank and the teller asked me "what the heck do you need all these pennies for?" For the first time i just said. "most like theres printed, i prefer mine minted". Not sure where it came from, but i do know that that little rhyme will be my response from now on. It works pretty good along with... "its easier to save in this form" I thought the rhyme was pretty cool and worthy to post. Will any of you use it?

I know my request is out of the norm
It's easier to save in this form.
I'm here to pick up my standing order
As a matter of fact, yes I am a penny hoarder.
Could you please bring me my Brinks?
I'll be back next week to drop off the zincs.

| Hah - these are great - I sometimes say that I'm a raffle organizer and that the kids guess how many pennies there are in the 55 gallon drum and they can win a prize - HAH |

I've been coming in here for over a year
Don't act like you don't know that stack of Brinks boxes is for me.
Oh wait, that one doesn't rhyme.  |

When we are pleased with a performance, we can rapidly tap our coppers on the tabletop!
When we are displeased, we can throw our rotten zincs, as if they were tomatoes!

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

| I tell them I'm the banker for poker games in the trailer park. Then I smile and say I'm also a collector, and if they save goofy coins for me I'll buy them at face value. No takers on that offer yet. |

There once was an old man from Brinks
Who brought me twelve cases of zincs!
So i whined to the board
of my mis'rable hoard
Saying golly gee whiz, man, this stinks! |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |
