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.

Musical CondomWhen bro and I were 16, mum and the stepdad took us on holiday to Reighton Sands to "relax before our GCSE results came through".
First night there, we were in the bar (bless mum for allowing us to get drunk!) and they had a "musical condom" competition whereby you had to pick songs that were appropriate for a musical condom.
I won much to the hilarious amusement of my parents who didn't know what I'd put down.
"You Keep It All In" Beautiful South
"Johnny Come Home" Fine Young Cannibals
"Rubber Ball Come Bouncing Back to me" Some band or other
"Whip Crack Away" Some band or another
"Won't You Play With My Ding-a-Ling" Some old old guy.
I won a cool trophy which my mum still has, and I was still a virgin at the time!
