Free...Why?

Cool story...

Today the Courier had their quarterly office birthday party. Nothing really special, just some birthday wishes and they recognize the employee of the quarter announcements.

But this party was a little different. The door prizes were actually worth going to this party for. I have this afternoon off so I didn't plan on going to the party.

They handed out those little blue tickets with numbers for the door prizes. I asked four people if they wanted to trade tickets. And nobody bit. Everybody thought I was crazy for wanting to trade tickets. They'd say "Well, what if you win with my ticket?" and I'd say "Well, what if you win with mine?"

And sure enough, the first number picked... Mine. I turned around to all the people I asked to trade numbers with and just smiled.

So now my next year's membership at the YMCA is free.

Other prizes included 25lbs of shrimp, a bath robe, some gift cards to flower shops and a coffee mug.

I just joined the Y last month, but they just take money out of my bank each month.... so now I've got a letter that'll put a stop to that.

Now I'm taking off the rest of the day... I'll probably go work out.
