Poll: Would you stop to pick up a penny?

[lemming]

I remember a story a guy told me about taking his son into a public restroom that had a trough type urinal. He gave him an idea of what to do then proceeded to demonstrate. Right then his kid said

Look Dad a Penny! and dove for it.

I just picked one up at a Burger King. I watched the worker push it around with a mop and then pack his stuff up and leave. Penny still there...went into my jar.

Do I need the penny, no.
Is it worth much, no.

I was just brought up that way.

Every penny I pick up reminds me of the huge change in mentality that led to my escaping the rat race and regaining my life and my integrity.

Picked up another one today...
