The Color of Money

While out at an office supply place this week (one that rhymes with "Office Schmeepo"), I noticed they were running a contest. Here's the sign-up box. According to this, five winners will win more than $1400 worth of Crayola products.

I hate to seem ungrateful, but if Fate's hand were to reach down and grant me the luck of the draw, what the Hell am I going to do with $1400 worth of Crayola stuff?

It's not like Crayola makes crayons and big screen televisions. You'd pretty much have to choose from the crappy products available, just like on the old days of Wheel Of Fortune.

It would be just my luck to finally cash in my golden ticket, only to win a grand prize that amounts to fifteen thousand crayons. What a rich man would I be, if only I could fulfill my lifelong dreams to bathe in a tub filled with burnt umber.

Maybe melted down crayons can be used as gasoline and in that case $1400 dollars worth is like two tanks of gas.

Dude, clearly you don't teach school. This is a present like gold in teacher heaven.

Maybe you're right, Karen. I should win it and donate it to school, then all the kids could make drawings and they could be hung up on the middle school's ceremonial "Reid-Frigerator."

I like the sound of that.
