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.

Nice Ass.Our staff conference had followed a similar format every year. The morning is spent focussing on "us, as a department" and the afternoon would be a "jolly" or, more accurately, piss up, usually involving a quiz. The previous year the prizes awarded to the winning team had been DVD players, so when I realised my team were doing quite well in the quiz I thought "I could be in with a chance here, wonder what the prize is?" and dreamt of P45s and Carribean holidays.
So we won! I sidled up the the Ass. Director to collect my prize and was handed an envelope - what did it contain? A £10 M & S voucher.
So I spent it on some nice underwear, got laid, but he was crap too. Where's the justice?
