Pennies From Heaven

This I had to file in one of the "ironic moments of my life" bin...I hate pennies. They're tiny, hard to count, worth almost nothing, and actually cost the government money because it takes 1.7 cents to make a penny (yes, that means every year we lose millions of dollars on pennies not because they disappear in couch cushions easily, but because we pay more than they're worth for them).

Due to this hatred, I've come to throwing pennies away. I throw them in trash cans where they will never be found. I throw them on the ground where other idiots can stop and pick them up. I've even tried feeding them to stray pigeons for personal amusement. So with all I do to combat the existence of pennies in my life, when I returned to my parked car the other night in San Francisco, I couldn't do anything but laugh when I saw this image right outside the driver side door....almost like God said, "you don't want pennies?! Here! Take 'em!!" And no, curious reader, I didn't pick any of them up...
