I like to keep an unchecked lottery ticket in my wallet, it gives me the possibility that I may have won the lottery, and be able to go off and retire at any moment. A bit like Schrödinger's cat, the theory is that as long as I haven't checked the ticket, I might have won. I can fill my thoughts with the possibility that if everything gets too much I can quit my job and finally do all of those things that we want to do, like track down that really annoying guy in the office and hunt him with a crossbow, safe in the knowledge that a helicopter, fake passport, and a pretend cousin in Bolivia are available to start your new life once you've taken your revenge.
Sadly, I've checked this ticket and I haven't won. I'll have to buy another.

Man, that was some tasty cake, two flavours (chocolate one and lemon the other if I remember right), handmade by my wife, she's awesome :)
I like the way you think, a lottery ticket is only as good as its numbers, and they are perfect until some fool chooses the wrong numbers and ruins everything. I lake the way your wife bakes, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, so far the lottery has consistently picked the wrong numbers as far as I'm concerned. And she is a good baker :)
