The Jenni Penny

Or

The Jepenny

Or

A Very Shaggy Dog

© 2001: First appeared on a scrap of paper, in a high school of the northeastern suburbs, one lunchtime.




Once, a girl named Jenni decided to create a new form of currency. She told her friend with much excitement, “Cara, I’ve just made a jepenny!”

This sparked the beginning of a revolutionary revolution that became known as the Revolutionary Jennifernization Revolution. This was a process similar to the Balkanization in Yugoslavia and parts of Indonesia (apparently). When Jenni heard this amazing fact, she said, “Wow!”

The jepenny consisted of only one small coin, thus making it one of the most highly sought after collectors’ items in the history of the world. Only having one coin in a currency is crucial to understanding the fundamental existentialism of Jenni’s ideology*. Within this ideology, Maths, numbers, time and anything sensical or linear is considered “Bad!”, however, this “badness” can only ever be understood as subjective, as Jenni’s friend, Cara pointed out.

Surely the very meaning of your ideology is centred around personal choice and hence this dismissal of maths and science as “bad” is perfectly in line with this. “Sorry” Cara said, “I Just argued my own point and yours simultaneously, freakshow!”



*Jennism, similar to McCarthyism in Cold War America

i dont get the ontological jump from one penny to a life non sense. i think that high school summer sun shone to brightly on your bright brain and bounced of the blue bitumen creating a critical meltdown of sensibleness (otherwise known as answer this in the form of a sentence).
it used to get so warm my school that i would lie face down on the ground and let my crotch enjoy a comfort that only the womb and my hand had thus far provided.
tho you probably didnt need to know that.

Hey Hotgirl3580,
Wow - the Jepenny makes a whole lot of nonsense now, huh? Definitly logically unsound. Still I can live my life in a logically unsound manner, more fun that way. All we need now is to dig up the whole 'freaky chesty thing' poem and we have a literary movement on our hands. And do you remember that story we wrote about cycling around Vietnam in which I suffered from an unfortunate and uncontrollable hand gesture? Again, pure genius. Anyway, to answer your questions, HP=Harry Potter. Ron=character from aforesaid text. Karen Ellis=teacher who slept with her student and got 3 months in the can for it, that ho. Dr Karl=apparent musical genius, at least according to the Glasgow 'Neighbours appreciation society'. Anyway, as Hotguy3580 suggested, 'Drink your brains out'. Mmmm, nice use of imagery. Xara, Queen of the Damned xoxoxoxox
