<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 213237, member: 7424&quot;]Thanks. I wish I could make something like that up, but I didn&#039;t lol. Thaks though. Here are some others, but not nearly as good as the first one:</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in Roman days, as you may know, slavery was part of life. People went to slave markets to buy and sell slaves from all over the known world.</p><p>One particular slave market holder became well known for his special promotional contests - people would come from all over the Empire to win one of his slaves.</p><p>His most popular contest was a game where you had to try to throw a coin into a Roman urn. If you&#039;ve seen pictures, you&#039;ll know that these urns have very narrow necks, so the game was quite challenging, but if you succeeded, you would win a slave from the market, so the prizes were good.</p><p>One day, a fairly poor woman returned from the market with a slave. Her husband immediately berated her for spending so much money to buy a slave, but she told him that she had won the contest, so it had only cost a single penny.</p><p>&quot;After all,&quot; she said &quot;You&#039;ve always told me that a penny urned is a penny slaved.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>When someone asks you, &quot;A penny for your thoughts,&quot; and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?</p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
