Funny Story about Pasadena Marathon Runner and Penny
Yesterday I was at mile nine of the Pasadena Marathon, and a yard ahead of me I spotted a penny. I didn’t want to stop. I had been chasing a guy for the last five miles and he was almost mine. Then the darned penny angels started in. “You have to stop and pick up that penny.” “I can’t bend over. I’ve been at this for two hours and my hands are beginning to swell. My fingers are sausages.” “Quit whining and pick up the penny,” They replied. I painfully bent over and managed to pick up the penny in an awkward two-finger manner that would have made a lobster proud. “Can I go now?” “No more pennies?” “No more pennies,” they said. I caught that guy anyway! 1 penny — 1 cent for the day.
