Penny Foolish, Pound Wise
Member of Parliament, Pat Martin wants to eliminate the penny from Canadian currency.
Carole found a penny today in the Costco parking lot ... she had good luck for the rest of the day. She asked me for my thoughts on a penniless Canada. I thought .... "Had the penny already been disposed of, it would have cost her a nickle for my thoughts." If the penny had never become a component of our global economy we would never have had Henny Penny or Miss Money-Penny, or penny candy ... and we would have been entirely pound foolish.
If Pat had any cents he would drop his 'Eliminate the Penny' campaign and give his attention to eliminating crime in the streets, improving our infrastructure and healthcare system and bringing the JETS back to Winnipeg. Anyway, just thought I'd throw in my two cents.
