Extremely cute and funny though I would get more excited about winning the Powerball. I just have to wait my turn on the vaccine though as I retired last July and even though M.D. is after my name, I’m on the bottom of the list now though I’m only 64 and a “civilian” now. (Wasn’t there a Beatles song about that age? 🙂 ) Not that I’m complaining as I’m in a rural area and it’s easier to stay away from people except when out shopping and folks are great about wearing masks and keeping their distance.
As far as sweepstakes are concerned, I have my bets on Publisher’s Clearing House. Cheaper than the lottery if one just does it online and only costs a stamp if not. The odds are probably the same. (Not an ice cubes chance in hell you’d win but so what.) Ummm, If I did win, I’d probably do a “pity” order for some of their “stuff”. I did find some stickup battery powered lights one time and ordered them even though I felt they were overpriced. They work well and it would have been a pain to try to run wiring to the place I wanted to stick wired lights.
Oh, I do like to report I had a scammer call and tell me I won “second prize” of a PCH sweepstakes (when I hadn’t entered at that time) and I had a ball “dinking” him on the phone. I usually don’t answer the phone during the day unless I recognize the number but had a lapse of thought and picked up. Had an adrenaline rush but thank God the “to good to be true” gene kicked in.
Guy said I didn’t sound too excited and I replied I will be if I see the Mercedes in my driveway that you said “I won”. Started in on the “gift taxes” thing and payment of same. I said, “Wait a minute. You bring me the car, the keys and the invoice and I’ll have my accountant deal with the I.R.S. to pay the gift tax.” Put the car in my driveway (you mother-f#cker) and I’ll work on it with the government. The I.R.S. doesn’t care if one thrusts an invoice in their face and announces they need to pay a gift tax on an item. If one wins money or pricey gifts, Uncle Sam doesn’t care if one is up front to deal with the tax obligations. “Click” went the receiver which I really enjoyed. (But I would’ve liked to have really “won” something.) 🙂
