Aw yeah

Yes I did.

All you haters should know, my wife digs it.

Who says you’re not a winner?

This morning I was eating my cheerios laced with matured (read: brown and mushy and sweet and if you like them green what the heck is wrong with you, they’re sweeter if you let them sit for a few days) banana slices, and I looked at the cereal box to read something.  (My wife makes fun of the fact that I read cereal boxes, shampoo ingredient lists, movie plot summaries and the weird tall/small writing at the bottom of the DVD that tells you who is in the movie and who produced it, things that I myself have recently written on scraps of paper, signs on walls like “fire extinguisher” that have been there for years, and other less fascinating material.)

Anyway.  Cereal.

So instead of a good story about Fred and Barny in Cocoa-Falls, Bedrock, having a chocoriffic time and me counting hidden flattened rice flakes in the picture, there was this notice about another sweepstakes, where you could win 10 million bucks or something.

And I did.  Win 10 million bucks.

Or something.

Inside the cereal box there was a neat silver-wrapped Discover debit/gift card worth five big fat bucks.  Usable anywhere Discover is accepted.  Yes, faithful reader–either one of those places!

So today my wife and I are going out for coffee and orange juice to celebrate the fact that I am a rocking winner of a man.

So who says you’re not a winner?  Go out there and make it happen.  Maybe you won’t get as rich as I have, but they have prizes of lesser value as well, so it’s not like it’s all 5 bucks or nothing.

By the way, the odds of winning 10 million or something according to the faithful box are 1 in 10.  That means if you buy 10 boxes of cheerios, you should win at least once.

Actually, there’s a 35% chance you still won’t win even once.  BUT if you buy 20, then you’re chances of not winning anything go down to about 12%.

So, who says you’re not a winner?  If you buy 20 boxes and don’t win anything, then I do.  Otherwise, don’t ever let them put you in a corner, baby.
