The One Penny Get Rich Scheme.

Okay you might not get rich, but you will save money. I've discovered how to turn a penny into alot more money, and save the environment at the same time.

I discovered this little gem after installing my new shower head over the weekend. The restrictor plate which was made of rubber was no match for Greensboro's intense water pressure to my home, and blew it out in a matter of seconds. I must admit for a second, the idea of unloading a single 40 gallon water heater in one shower is tempting, but I didn't want to pay the bill for it. Sooo....

I broke out the 18 Volt Sears Mega Drill, duct taped a penny down and drilled a small hole right through the center of it. I'm sure it was quite a site to see me in my pink skirt I had bought from Roses and power drill the size of a small child in my hand. Amazingly the penny is the exact size of a shower head fitting, and can be easily placed in the neck of the shower head before installing it. Once done, the penny restricts water flow to only about 2.5 gallons a minute, and saves a few dollars every month. Invest that money right and you could be a millionaire.

Might want to go to Lowes and get yourself a stainless steel washer.

Every see what happens to a penny when it gets wet and old? Want that in your hair?

Just remove the copper because it's aluminum under there anyhow. A large belt sander should do the trick. Wink

And Matt, we need to talk about that crumpled up dollar bill in your pocket too.
Thanks
The Secret Service. Cool

The one I tore in half for the book mark?

Let's not cloud the issue with facts.
