Because if you are getting paid to speak, you are now not gonna do it very a lot due to the fact that its like paintings. Oh thanks, I've given you my ideas and all I get is a penny? Really? But in the event you ought to PAY, then its almost always unwelcome. Mostly due to the fact that you believe due to the fact that you may have paid 2 cents that you'll jabber on without end whilst I wasn't even speaking to you within the first position! And that penny? Inflation. Want to do whatever for a laugh? You pay x quantity. Make it your task and receives a commission for it? Get paid part of x.

a penny for your thoughts came from the early day therapist. It would cost you a penny for him to hear your thoughts and diagnose you. Putting your two cents in was a comment made during a poker game when the standard ante was 2 cents to get in the game.

One penny for your thought and one penny for your voice, hence your two cents worth.

It's simple.
The person who made the initial offer is bound to get more information than they bargained for.
Thus, they offered a penny and received back twice as much information.

I wouldn't give a plug nickle for my answer. It wouldn't make any cents, anyway.
The other penny went where the other "bit" in two bits went!

So they want to know but don't want to pay much, and when you offer to pay to speak you are being extra generous ;) You don't want their penny in fact you will pay two just to have the privilege of their audience since they didn't ask for it.
