The Three Penny Opera

So, I remember when I was a kid, a kid kid, you know about seven or eight years old, and cigarettes used to cost like twenty seven cents a pack, and if you bought them in a cigarette machine for thirty cents,
whoa, there used to be cigarette machines Uncle Boz,
well, yeah little Timmy of course there were, it was the 50's and anything was possible,
and if you bought them in a cigarette machine for thirty cents there would be three pennies taped to the pack of cigarettes, and if you were a cool teenage guy who had a car you would tape the pennies to the dashboard of your car until you had hundreds of dollars in pennies, which would probably make your dashboard more valuable than the rest of your car, unless of course you were the boyfriend of the cheerleader girl, radiant in her auburn haired ponytail and bobby sox, who lived down the street and you had a part time after school and all day Saturday job bagging groceries at the Wrigley's supermarket in the Eastgate Shopping Center, and you were able to afford a metallic baby blue 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 door coupe that you took to the body shop and had the name Blue Tango three color detailed on the right rear quarter panel, a car which by the way I have still have dreams about, dreams which mostly include the cheerleader girl, radiant in her aurburn haired pony tail and bobby sox, who lived down the street, well then, that would be different.
But I digress.
