Does That Make Any Cents

Does that make any cents Sight sound smell taste and touch are the five senses not to be confused with five census because you don't need all of your senses to be listed in a census does that make sense to you? five pennies should be called five cents but isn't that called a nickel does that make sense? maybe that's why in Canada we don't use pennies any more it just didn't makes cents although the change was difficult to handle we don't have to... anymore get it... handle change oh well, anyway, I digress Don't you find it odd that having five cents is not like having five senses or five census...ok ok let's have a consenses or should I say consensus there you go... so as was mentioned... one of the five senses is smell so here's the problem let's say there are five scents that you must smell and they all cost a penny each so isn't that five cents to smell five scents but only using one of the senses, does that make any sense?
