Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Wedding 2 years ago
My boss at the time had offered to buy my wedding dress, up to $1,000, as his wedding gift to me.
So, his wife and I went down to the bridal shop, and as soon as I laid eyes on this one particular dress, I knew I had to try it on - price tag showed $859. I picked out a few others as well to try on, but as soon as I tried the first one on, I knew that was it - it didn't need any adjustments, and I looked fab in it.
I also picked out a tiara (which I was paying for), as I look a twat in a veil.
So, off we tootle to the cash register to pay for it, and lo! there is a 25% discount sale going on. The girl rings up the dress.........$89........ok, say we, this must be wrong......the girl on the register insisted we have it at that price as that is what it rang up as. Sweeeeet! Needless to say, the boss also bought the $140 tiara!
