You're The 3rd Grand Prize Winner!

[MEXICOWANDERER]

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy....Never Won Anything In My Life!

Went to package delivery store and signed for registered mail.

Long box, about six pounds...

Tore it open.

Inside...

One Teflon, silicone and carbon fiber snow shovel.

It's pricey

It feels good in the hand

It's about as useful to me here in Mexico as an ice chest in the Arctic.

It's about luck. like if you won a three thousand page tome about phasor algebra. Or how to walk on stilts. One thing I do openly complain about is criticism.

PS: Here is a tip: Never watch a movie dealing in Black Humor.

You obviously entered the wrong contest.

I won a Mosquito Trap. It looks like a miniature leg trap for whatever. It came from the Yukon. They must have big ones up there.....:)

[profdant139]

Could it be used to muck out a barn? They must have barns in Mexico, right? Or maybe not --- with the warm weather, no need for shelter for the livestock.

I wouldn't want to be hung with a new rough rope, think of trying to get rid of the rope rash later.........

Need a way to 90 degree carbon fibre handle. My housekeeper Nena laughed so hard she had to run to the bathroom.

Growing up on the farm we never bought show shovles (Southern lower MI we got snow) We used a #9 Grain scoop shovel.

YOu now have a nice long handled DUSTPAN for many uses.

"My house burned down!!!"

"Sad. You should have had smoke detectors"

"Smoke protectors would have stopped my house from burning down?"

"No, but a proponent of smoke detectors holds pageants and maybe he will come to your area. It is a non-profit organization.

(This is how the current generation thinks. It is scary as hell just like offering a climate definitive grand prize). Air conditioner prize to to a resident of Barrow Alaska?

It sits in the corner. A reminder to be cautious about false raised hopes.

:B
Oh how useful! With climate change and all that, hey you never know, perhaps Mexico will be under 3 feet of snow this winter......

That's about as useful as a prize I won at a car club halloween party years ago for best costume.
A hair dryer!
I'm as bald as they come, just a half inch long fringe all around the edges.....

Sell it as a heavy duty sand shovel. 🙂
