Crappy Prizes
Competitions, 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.

Fix! Fix!
Before we became a bunch of skinflint cunts, we'd have a raffle at our work Xmas do.
Every department was asked to donate a prize and staff were *encouraged* to buy tickets, with the cash raised going to a localhostelry charity.
One year, I won a prize. As I strode up to claim it, I was greeted withabusive cat-calls good-natured shouts of "Fix! Fix!" (the prize had been donated by one of the departments I manage and my winning ticket had been drawn by one of my henchmen).
Other prizes included various bottles of booze, Fortnum and Masons hampers from suppliers, a handjob from the drunk and dizzy receptionist, the usual sort of thing.
What did I unwrap?
A 3-pin 13 amp plug.
With the earth pin rotated 90o so as to be cuntpletely fucking useless.
You should have seen the face on the amusing fucker who had donated the prize 6 months later when he opened his P45!
