penny surfing

the summer-resting-academic in me has to admit i enjoy singing the praises of something as simple as penny surfing. learn at least one new thing every day, right? today, this was it. place a penny between your fingers and stick them out the window...how long can you catch the wave? (and, i was wondering, how could i have lived 37 years without knowing about this skill...)while my friend drove, i surfed and cars behind us probably wondered why we were throwing money out the window. twelve or so cents later i think my longest record was ten seconds. (and the shortest was dropping it before i even got my hand out the window) maximum fun at a minimum price.
