  I was not a very good shot with those cork shooters or bb guns at the carnival.  By the time you figured out where to aim the sight to compensate for the drift you were spending your entire allowance.

  I hope it's not that kind of "Skill" Game.

  Making friends with grizzly bears would be a good skill to have if you live in the mountains but it won't help win the lottery.

  Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

  As a former pool hustler, if the lottery was like 9 ball, i'd win most of the time.
