Scratch Off

Posted by Anonymous On 7:55 PM

(For no reason whatsoever, imagine the old school Spider Man theme music playing in the background of this post. It's just more fun that way.)

Below is a scratch-off piece from Burger King. I did not win the Whopper Jr. Why? Well, read the directions. I scratched it off second. Had I scratched it off first and only, then I would have received the Whopper Jr.



And that got me thinking: What if I scratched off the first one and didn't win anything, and then I scratched off the second one and it said I won $10,000. But of course I couldn't claim it because the other one was scratched off. What would I do? Would I explode or something? Would I immediately head over to Hobby Lobby and try to find some way of replacing the scratchy stuff that I'm sure can't be replaced. Would I toss it and never think about it again?

How would I react? How would you react?

    I would blame it on Venom.

    I would use it to replace that Micky Mantle baseball card I folded and taped to my bicycle spoke.

    Ohmygosh, Keith... that's about the worst thing I've ever heard.

    Ugh.

    I've been thinking about it since I posted. I would probably show it to a few people to prove it so that I could retell the story many years later when it was funny. Then I'd throw it away and not think about it. I think that's the only way to rationally deal.

    I don't play games like this, because it's a form of gambling and therefore a sin.

    It's funny that they have the entire thing in both English and Spanish.

    Then why, Sir Hammer, did you not put your warning against such gambling sin in Spanish as well? Hmmmm? English-speakers aren't the only sinners, you know!

    I might try to sell it on e-bay (with the rules listed clearly, though probably not in all caps) to see which sucker would bid way too much money on it. People collect really weird stuff.

    No jugaré con el Hombre Araña, porque es un pecado.
