    I think dad may need a little more than a “few” more pennies

    I stopped picking up pennies years ago. They’re not worth the trouble.

    If you can, get supplimental insurance too. We have only paid a $2000 co-payment, and that was on a $40K operation.

    My theory is that no one ever got rich throwing money away. When the cashier asks me if I want my pennies back – thatswhat I tell them.

    ‘Course, there’s that old superstition about pennies on the ground that goes: If Lincoln’s (Abes!! Heh…..) profile is face-up, pick it up for good luck, but if the other side’s face-up, leave it there on the ground or you’ll be inviting bad luck…..I still hear that from time to time……….

    A penny saved is a penny earned.

    In the great desert lived a band of nomads. Their leader, Benny, had risen to his rank due to his magnificent beard. His people believed a man’s strength and courage came from his beard, and thus the man with the biggest beard was their chief.

    After leading the band for many years, Benny began to fell uncomfortable wearing the beard, in this hot and dusty land. He wanted to shave it off, so he called his council together to get their advice.

    When he said he wanted to shave, the councilmen were shocked. One said, “Do you not remember the ancient legend, Sire. The leader who removes his beard is cursed and made into a piece of earthenware.”

    Benny had heard this legend, but being a modern man, he scoffed at the tale.

    Being headstrong, he went ahead and cut and scraped away his once magnificent beard. As the final whisker was cut off, a huge dust storm came up. It lasted only a few seconds, and when it cleared, there was a man-sized clay vessel where only moments before had stood their leader.

    The council then knew the legend must be true. Their conclusion? “A Benny shaved is a Benny urned.”

    Well there is his first mistake, going to the ER for back care. Now that will cost you about 1500.00. where going to the Chiropractor would only cost you around 75.00 and there is no side effects except decreased pain.

    Marty should have known better to bend down at his age. He’s practically a fossil!
