Something to do the next time you're bored · 2:44am Nov 2nd, 2013
See that coupon for granola bars, or whatever? The one they gave you with your receipt the last time you checked out at the supermarket? Go dig through your kitchen drawers until you find 20 coupons of the sort that you're never going to use. (Or a few more, just to be safe.) If you don't have that many, just hold on to 'em until you have enough. (The ones that you're actually going to use? Go ahead and, y'know, use those.)
You're going to find that most of them have a little line of text on them that say "Cash value only 1/20th of a cent." Take 20 of them, go to a grocery store you normally never go to, stop by the customer service desk, set down the stack of coupons, and ask for your penny. Be polite about it, but be insistent. Don't explain why you want it. Patiently wait however long it takes them to figure out how to register this bizarre transaction, and let them speak to as many managers as they need to. When they finally take the coupons from you and hand you your penny, hold it in front of your eyes and examine it as if they've given you something important. Thank them gratefully.
Congratulations. You have now made the day a bit stranger for one or more people.
Speaking of making it stranger, I have a comedy one-shot in the works. It's my take on one of the most infamous running jokes ongoing series in MLP fanfiction history. Oh, and don't worry, I will be continuing the saga of Kyle and Twilight versus Everybody in my HiE parody, as well as adding additional chapters to "Special Talents". I just keep having other things come up. Sorry...

I have strange notions sometimes, and I give them to other people.
I like to think of myself as "an idea guy". My friends call me "the Instigator".
