i love that poem! you probably have no idea what i'm talking about...it's called "smart" and it's by shel silverstein, i think...yup. here it is:
My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more than one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes -- I guess he don't know
That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickles for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head--
Too proud of me to speak!

Sounds like a good deal in which something gets lost in the transaction. I will send you 100,000 pennies and you can send me back a measly 20,000 quarters.

that's what my grandpa used to tell me, until I got to the first grade and realized that cheap bastard had been tricking me into taking two quarters instead of a dollar for the past 5 years.
I'm still in therapy. :D

I'll trade you five pennies for a quarter because then I'll get twenty more cents.
