…was the winning number in the 50/50 at the hog meeting tonight… there was anticipation as everyone checked their tickets, waiting for someone to claim the prize. i quickly scan my tickets for the last three numbers – no luck… i’m out another ten bucks.
soon no one is claiming the booty… the number is read again – still no winner. some genius in the crowd wonders out loud if the number being read is upside down. the new number, 6 – 6 – 9 – 9 – 8 – 9, is read. bingo!! i’m one hundred sixty some odd dollars richer (minus the wife’s share).
drinks are on me tonight…
thanks for calling me for happy hour, dude
ReplyDeleteThat's priceless! I hope you bought said genius a drink for thinking on his feet. Too funny!

john q: i'll pick up your lunch next week...
ReplyDeletefasthair: i would have definitely bought the dood a beer, but i'm not sure who said it... i think the whole crowd was trying to figure out why no one was claiming the prize. and i did manage to make out with more than my ten bucks once the wife got her share!! ;-)
