I think I could just cry over the terrible loss of a fortune! A Mega Millions lottery ticket that was hit through the Virginia Lottery expired this week, leaving the ticket worthless after six months grace. The $250,000 was second prize in the January 18th draw and the only ticket to win. After publishing all the information they had about the ticket, including where it was purchased, and the winning numbers, the Virginia Lottery was forced to declare the ticket null and void on July 18th. I just hope that the winner never actually realizes his or her mistake. If I found out that I had the potential of being a quarter of a million dollars richer, but that I had missed out on that opportunity because I hadn’t bothered checking my lottery ticket, I would definitely weep!
And speaking of missed opportunities:
A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road. He stopped and offered her a lift which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her habit to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a good look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily reached over and slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. Changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
Once again the priest apologized, “Sorry, Sister, but the flesh is weak.”
Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way.
Upon his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
