“Anyone who got a penny for their thoughts had a bad literary agent.”
I have often wondered about the cliché “Penny for your thoughts”.
I know at one time it was a larger amount of money than a penny is worth now. So asking to be paid for what you are thinking is like modern Blogging???
And then my head likes to combine cliches. If you put pennies on the eyes of a dead person… to keep them closed (some think) but it is actually to pay the ferryman (Charon) to the Afterlife. So paying a Penny For Your Thoughts is paying for half dead answers?
