he keeps it so's he can have that penny for someone else's thoughts.
but...let's see, in your scenario, is the person who is saying, "a penny for your thoughts" talking to the person who puts in their two cents' worth?
if so, then the one who said "a penny for your thoughts" would be giving the penny to the other, who would hand back two cents, so the first one ends up recouping his loss and making a profit.
and how do i get into this racket?
