    if you saw a penny

    would you step over it, step on it, kick it, or pick it up?
    this says a lot about your personality.

    Step over it.
    Common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat.

    Typically I'll pick it up. But if it looks funky like pennies in the street so often do then I'll pass. If I'm with a group I typically pass as well.

    I pick it up. That's why I had $300 in change in my jar last summer.

    I only pick up nickels regardless if it's nickelback or nickelfront *honk honk*

    If it's just a penny I step over or on it.

    I'd throw the rest of my pennies with it cause I hate pennies. They should be abolished and we should round to the nearest .05!

    Actually pennies have a couple good uses.

    1) You can wedge them in the space between the door and door frame to lock someone in their dorm room.

    2) This is always a hoot. During parades, its fun to try to toss them in the tubas as the band marches by.

    I'd pick it up and ask it a really banal question, then tell it how much I like sex in the hopes that it would praise me for it.

    After that, I'd probably put it back down.

    Find a penny
    pick it up
    and all day long
    you'll have good luck!

    Then I put it in my shoe for the rest of the day.

    It depends on my mood. I used to follow the old superstition of heads up only, but then I realized that was bull, so now that has nothing to do with my inclination to pick it up.

    I guess half the time, I pick it up, the other half of time I think about the ground and what people do to it and just keep on walking.

    Depends on if anyone is looking. Even then it's a wimp if I do pick it up.

    yeh, sometimes i pick one up and sometimes i don't. if it's a shiny one i will most always pick it up. i know i penny discriminate.
    when i don't pick one up and then i need one cent for a transaction that penny i left behind immediately comes to my mind and how i could be using it RIGHT NOW.

    I'd pick it up and give it to poor college student hapoo for his college fund.
