Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Please some one tell me...awwwww

It's like the extra nine tenths of a cent you pay at the gas pump... people who give you their two cents worth HOPE you won't notice you got shortchanged a penny.

Into the "take a penny, leave a penny" jar beside the register at the gas station.

Because advice costs a penny more than thoughts...

I guess because your thoughts aren't as important as verbally putting your two cents in.

Because we usually value our own thoughts higher than those of others.
But the price of a thought is pretty low don't you think ... and unaffected by inflation. That does arise thought! ;))))

I like to say I'm putting in my .015 Euros.
Plus, everyone thinks their OWN thoughts are twice as valuable as everyone elses...
