HA HA.

The multi-tasker. I have a guy like that. Everytime I go in, he is yapping on the phone. I generally dont try to make it too complicated for him.

Its a late night spot. I have had other problems with them before.

But in this instance the guys just keep yapping. There are a bunch of QD addicts all the time in there so that always makes it worse.

In a Patel-ish store one day...the man was on the phone, I should have known better

than to think he could multi-task, he couldn't.

I am curious to see if your lottery adventure is as curious as mine. Has this ever happened to you?

An adventure in Lotto Land.

So today I decided to deviate from normal lottery routine. I decided to take my winning ticket to a new store to determine if they are lucky or have a machine with a lucky lottery algorithm.

It s a liquor store. I do a traversing of the whole store, price some vodka, and exchange formalities with the clerk before I hand my winning ticket over. The ticket i... [ More ]
