- Change is a touchy subject, but an
important one.
- Some things are temporary, but
change is suprisingly permanent.
- Since you'll have to spend the
rest of your life going through change,
- I thought you might like to know
how to make it less of a burden.
-
- Most people don't have the
slightest idea how to deal with change,
- so the pesky stuff rattles around
in the bottom of purses, pockets & car
ashtrays.
- Some folks roll it, but ya can't
smoke it. (Dang stuff won't stay lit!)
- True Virgos even plink it into
coffee mugs & piggy banks.
- While it HAS managed to support
Las Vegas's light-bill,
- most casinos prefer the
"quieter, more-peaceful" folding money.
- (Even gangsters call it "hush
money")
- So to the average person, change
is just another pain in the pocket.
- Pennies became political once they
began costing more than a penny
- to build. So until "The Mint'
moves to Mexico and it's fiscal future is
- no-longer some Senator's priority,
there is ONE way you CAN
- cope with change --
- Ignore it!
-
- There are things that matter in
the world
- & things that don't. Change
doesn't!
- Remember when you were a kid and
somebody
- would give you a dime? It was
nice, wasn't it? And kids,
- destitute except for allowances,
APPRECIATE it!
- SO, every time you see a kid, give
him your change! ALL of it!
- If he looks puzzled, tell him to
save it for the collection plate.
- You'll be a better person, he'll
be a happier kid and
- you'll NEVER have a jingle in your
pocket again!
-
- I've been ignoring change for 20/30-some years
- and that has cost (maybe) 50 cents a day.
- ( That's a nickel in purchasing power - duhh)
- If somebody INSISTS on handing you the stuff,
- even after you politely remark, "I don't DO
change",
- either leave it for a tip or
- drop it ALL in their penny box.
- Or look around for a kid!
