Yeah right!!!!

 Many have been doing this for years; that is to toss a coin into
a fountain, make a wish and hope for the best.  Since the economy is in trouble
worldwide, I’m sure the number of fountain wish makers quadrupled.  
 
This pet peeve is actually my brother’s.

 My dear beloved brother on a family vacation in Vegas (many water
fountains there), making the best of the moments while observing folks taking
their hard earned pennies and quarters to a fountain and hope for the best.  

I wonder how many times people do this per day or week or month
or year?

 If you didn’t get your wish after the third coin toss, what makes you think it’ll eventually pay off after maybe the 68,000th toss? 
 
Anyhow, the good thing is: if I’m unemployed, I know exactly
  where to get tax free money and pay my past due light bill……..THANKS EVERYONE!!! (Water
  fountain wishing folks).
