My Magic Penny Keeps You Safe
My Magic Penny Keeps You Safe

In the fall of 2001 I picked up a penny and since that time we have not had a major terrorist attack in the United States. My magic penny is the reason. I know this because I did not have the magic penny on Sept. 11, 2001 and that was a very bad day. But since then we have been safe so the most logical conclusion is my magic penny.

My magic penny also wards off Weapons of Mass Destruction. We have not been hit by WMD since I found my special penny. The penny is so powerful, in fact, it makes it hard to even find WMD which we know must be around. I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think my magic penny scares the crap out of those who would harm us and gets them to rat out their friends.

The last time I had a magic penny was the period from spring of 1993 to the summer of 2001 when I lost it. That penny had specific powers, it protected the World Trade Center. Too bad I lost it. My bad.

But fortunately I have a new magic penny. And it's hard at work keeping us safe. Hopefully, if my magic penny ever wears out, it will first teach a new magic penny to keep us safe.

2. We must show no mercy in protecting the magic penny
Either you have its protection, or you don't. You are with it, or you are against it. Take a stand.

3. Thank goodness for the penny.
I'll be able to sleep at night knowing the magic penny is keeping us safe.

6. Thank you for solving my dilemma!
You see, I always knew that Bush hasn't been responsible for protecting us from another terrorist attack. I know that because he's said so, and he's a liar so I know that isn't the truth. Until now, I've never been able to determine exactly what was protecting us, so there was always that sliver of doubt in my mind.

Now I know. Thanks, kpete! ;)

7. From Simpsons - Much Apu About Nothing
Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a
charm.
Lisa: That's spacious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?

Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

8. But... what if you had the same magic penny before AND after 9-11?
Can it still claim to be magic?
