that place where you won't lose it always gets lost

i got a 31 day unlimited pass for the metro transit in the mail the other day. i had another pass already in my wallet and i did not want to mistake the two. so i said to myself, "i should put this somewhere where i will not lose it."

the bus pass cost a good $90 or so. that is a very expense little piece of plastic. and when i say little, i mean very easy to get lost. even if i put it somewhere where it is not supposed to get lost. maybe it is more a matter of me not remembering where this magical no loss zone is located.

i would have been better off exchanging my $90 or so for 9000 pennies, maybe more. 9000 pennies would be hard to misplace. even in the lostville. sure you may misplace a few of the pennies but you are sure to have plenty left. enough to fill a pool and swim in it. scrooge mcduck style. so no longer will i spend so much on an object so small. if i am gonna buy something small, i will buy them in mass quantities. like pennies. i could even leave a trail of pennies from that place where you won't lose anything to wherever i go. that way nothing will get lost.
