I’m at the Subway earlier grabbing a sammich dinner for me and the Lil’ Moo. Like a lot of Subways around here, it’s a combination store, with this one a combo gas station. And they have a lottery machine, where the Megaball tickets were being sold.

There’s a line of people at the lottery machine, but there’s a sign on a full sheet of paper that says the machine is broken. One by one they come to the head of the line, and one by one the clerk tells them the machine is broken.

I can understand maybe not seeing the sign, but the guy in front of you just walked away, and the clerk just said to him the machine was broken. What excuse do YOU have?

Each idiot waddled up, reached their money out, and looked surprised to see that the machine that was going to give them their winning multi-million jackpot numbers was broken.

When I left, I noticed there was also a sign on the door. And people still going in, walking to the lotto machine, and walking out surprised.
