So Dave and I went to his work Christmas Party two weekends before Christmas. They were having a raffle for the employees that had RSVPed that they would be there. If you were not there and your name was drawn, you did not win. They just drew another name. They had some good stuff. Drawing for IPOD shuffles, $100, paid days off. They raffled off a tool box and when they announced the name the crowd just started laughing. The guy who won was semi retired and only works a couple days a week. They get down to the big prizes and the final prize was a 42" LCD TV. Guess who won, Dave! His boss comes up and complains that he has been coming for 11 years and has not won one thing!
We were sitting there trying to absorb the fact that we own yet another 42" (yep, we are still paying off the one we bought - no interest for 3 years deal when the Rockies was in the world series). He got a tap on his shoulder and the guy who won the 32" was saying he really was interested in the 42" and would we be interested in trading plus $100.... Sure why not, we walked in with nothing and will walk out with a 32" and $100... the 42" was too big since we already had one. So it is set up now and our "ancient" tv is now in the garage.
So... fast forward to today.... Dave gave me a quick call to say he was off work and asked if I wanted to hear something funny. Sure why not. They have a couple tool trucks that come around every week. One of them was having a raffle in December. For every $50 you bought in tools, you got a raflle ticket. Dave bought $150 because he needed the tools. Some guys were paying off their balance just to get raffle tickets. The raffle was for a 26" LCD tv and it included all the businesses in the valley.... Guess who won? Yep, Dave.
Guys at work were just glaring at him over this. A couple guys suggested he ought to go play the lottery given his luck.
