I received a package while covering the day shift today. Apparently I came in 4th place in some contest and as a result, I received a prize. For those of you who don't quite know me, I've been known to "dabble" in a contest or two, here or there. And for the most part, I've been pretty fortunate to win a few "choice trinkets" from time to time. However, the prizes of late have been sort of a backhanded compliment. For example, in one contest I won a NASCAR leather jacket. Not bad. However, in this case, I had no say on what driver I wanted (I'm a Jimmie Johnson supporter), nor could I submit my size. So I basically had to take what they had. I ended up receiving a jacket of one of my rival drivers (Tony Stewart), and to make matters worse, they send me a MEDIUM, and for anyone who knows me, I have a better chance of throwing a snowball through hell before fitting in that thing.
In another case of strange luck, I win (from the same radio station) a Norelco "Manscaping" device, used to, well... "manscape". Strange prize.
This time, I open my package, and it's one of those baseball all-weather pullovers. Not a bad prize at all. They even got my size right. HOWEVER, as usual, there's a catch. The team in question is not my favorite team; not even close. Instead of sending me a jacket from America's Team (Cleveland Indians), I get who else? Yes, the NEW YORK METS. God truly has a sick sense of humor.
I guess i'll be adding this jacket to the collection of misfit gifts and clothes.
