Trekking can hurt sometimes

I was walking on campus today, suffering the occasionally sharp discomfort of having what seemed like the largest pebble in the universe. As soon as I got home I wrestled my torturous boot off...and a shiny penny fell out of it.

Finding a penny in one's shoe is an experience which yields ambiguous interpretation. A popular cultural myth is that finding a penny means that one will have good luck all day long. On the other hand, it may be a product of bad fortune to have to endure walking with a penny in one's shoe.
