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.

July 4This past 4th of July, my department had a work party with watermelon-carving contests and door prizes. Even though I never made it to the party, my name got pulled for one of the prize buckets. Which contained fireworks you set off yourself. As I work for a hospital, and in the sort of of area that takes care of people who've recently blown their hands off doing dim things anyway, it seemed an odd sort of thing to be giving out.
