throwing pennies on the floor...

[joko]

sometimes i throw pennies on the floor, so that anyone who picks one up will have a good day, at least thats the idea
its my way of spreading some good luck around

anyone else ever done this?

anyone do anything else similar to this?

thanks

i throw pennies out!! i really hate them. its a nice thing for you to do though joko...:)

[redcrx]

I thought the saying was 'find a pin and pick it up and all day youll have good luck' ?
suppose its true in a way, id rather find and pick one up than stand on it :)

[mccfluff]

no i put my pennies into a charity box but what a cracking idea might try that tom and see what happens lol

somewhere i heard if you pick up a penny with the heads' up it's good luck, if it's tails turn it over and leave it for someone else to pick up.

[CheekyChops]

..give that penny to a frend
and your luck willnever end!

[twain11]

you could be a penny short of a pint! so pick it up

[joko]

redcrx, no, its see a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.
i guess with an american accent it sounds a bit like pin.

[redcrx]

Ive heard the penny saying, but was told that originally it came from pin.

[joko]

never heard that before redcrx....maybe i'll start dropping pins, it'll save me a few quid in the long run, though some people might not consider themselves lucky if they stand on one...lol

the saying only works for pennies you see (thank god otherwise i'd be skint!...;o)

It's a wonder you haven't been done for littering by some officious so and so yet. :)
But it is a wonderful idea,and if ibrings some light into someone elses day,ten carry on doing it ..a nice idea :)

Hi joko,

when we are on the building sites we do throw coins on the pavement, after we warm them up with the blow lamp though, bit mean isn't it, not too hot though,just enough to make them drop it again, it can be very funny,

wouldn't do it to actually burn someone,they are never that hot.

[redcrx]

Ray,
a biker would never do that you know ;-)

[raysparx]

Sorry red, I won't do it again,cos I wanna be in your gang,please, in fact pretty please.



I am off to work now,be good !!!

I don't do that but a few days ago I saw a fiver on the floor so that made me happy.

[joko]
