Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Booby PrizeAt our cricket club social events, there is almost always a raffle. Most people bring a bottle of wine, chocs etc, (although now a few people have resorted to finding old VHS videos of random films or sporting events).
I digress. We have a very northern senior player, who is a French teacher at a Public school (I would love to hear his French accent!!). Everytime the raffle is announced, you are guaranteed to hear (usually from the bar area) 'Soap on a Rope?' Not a great story, but its now a club cliche. Never seen anyone actually bring any soap though.
