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.

Old Folks Home Xmas Raffle...My grandparents used to volunteer at a retirement home and my Dad used to play the carols on the piano for their xmas party every year. Aged 12, I remember finally getting one of my raffle numbers drawn for the first time, (having bought about 20 every year) allowing me to go and collect the last remaining prize on the table...
A leg of ham almost as big as me.
I'm Jewish.
Oh joy.
