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.

Viva Las VegasWent to visit my Girlfriend's Nan who lives in Las Vegas (my girlfriend was there too, I am not a perv).
She offered to take us out gambling and gave us $100 to spend on the video poker machines.
Was going great, within 5 minutes I was $500 up and looking forward to pissing my winnings up the wall later that night. Only problem was we felt obliged to spend the rest of the day with her in the casino - as GF hadn't seen here for years and all that. Ended up losing the whole monkey plus our entire spending money for the rest of the 2 week holiday. It was only the 3rd day.
Don't gamble kids
