Do you pick up pennies?
I mean, sure you do. But...what if the penny is tails-up?
Heads-up is good luck, or so I heard, somewhere, at some point.
I suggest that, furthermore, tails-up pennies must be bad luck. Right?
Now I know that picking up a tails-up penny won't physically cause bad things to happen to me, but the damn power of suggestive thinking is there, and I don't want to have to worry that I will subconsciously sabotage myself due to an over-abundance of these bad penny-signals. Everything is this complicated, to me.
Now here's a real quandary:
I saw two pennies on the ground. One tails-up, one tails-down. What did I do?
I didn't pick up either of them. The good one was tainted by the bad one. I guess that makes me a glass half-full kind of guy.
...
Supplemental. How much money am I losing out on, in a lifetime, by refusing to pick up tails-up pennies? Maybe one of you smart-types who know all about math and whatnot.
