I gotta hand it to my friends. They are creative and ingenuous. So I found two pennies on Sunday. On Monday, one of my friends, (initials LR) asked if I noticed anything odd in my neighborhood. No. Nothing in front of my building? Nope. I mean I found a penny in front of my building but what's odd about that? I find pennies here and there. One penny isn't odd or out of the ordinary.
Well......
Apparently, she and another friend (initials AA) were scheming while I was at the movies on Saturday. AA devised a plan that would create a huge "disturbance" in the randomness of finding loose change.
AA and LR GLUED about 80 cents of change in front of my building. Impressive. Now when I picked up the one penny, I noticed it had some sort of odd adhesive stickiness covering it. I had never encountered a penny with such "filth" and was a little apprehensive to take it. This was the glue that was left over.
Where was the other change? Ahh, that's where their little plan didn't quite turn out the way they wanted it. Leaving money around in the open even if it is glued doesn't prevent some determined individual to try and take it. I guess they had taken their fill and left me with this lone penny. But I congratulate them for their efforts. Well done, ladies. :)

Thanks. I even dressed all in black, with running shoes and a black hoodie, in case we had to take off really fast whilst defiling your sidewalk.
