Streets of silver

I remember the time I actually fell for the quarter glued to the sidewalk trick. Who wouldn’t stop to pick up a quarter? That’s like, almost a month of good luck. The worst part after trying to pick it up and realizing it is attached, is standing up and then trying to decide whether to look around and see whether anyone is watching you or not. I opted for pretending to put something in my pocket and grinned stupidly while I went on my merry way.

Now I carry around a small putty knife in my back pocket, just in case. I’ve realized that quarters glued to the sidewalk aren’t actually all that common. and sitting down with a putty knife in your back pocket isn’t all that comfortable.
