Where Did Genghis Khan Hide the Penny?


John Maynard Keynes, the famous economist, drove to Best Buy to purchase a new laptop computer.  After negotiating a fabulously great deal on a swift machine with a young male clerk who, until only two days previous, thought Newt Gingrich was a kind of lizard with twitchy eyes, Mr. Keynes handed over cash for payment.  Just as the clerk reached out to give John Maynard Keynes his single penny in change, Genghis Khan appeared on a black stallion, snatched away the penny and galloped off with the loot, shouting wildly.
Your question for today—where did Genghis Khan hide the penny he absconded from the store?   Please choose one of the following:
  1. ____ “Under the steps.”
  2. ____ “Under the steppes.”
  3. ____ “Genghis Khan jammed it behind a blown screw-in type fuse in his Bronx apartment to restore power to his Xbox.”
  4. ____ “?”

Correct answer for the question posted on 11-18-2012: #4 “Are you two clowns aware that Mitchell Hegman and I share the same date of birth?”
