from Nancy Walsh. Joke came out during the Gore/Bush election recount fiasco...
>I wanted you to know that my fortune is impending.
>Last week I purchased a lottery ticket for the Florida Lotto. I was very
>disappointed to discover that the numbers that I had on the ticket were not
>the winning numbers. In fact, no one picked the winning numbers, and no
>winner was declared.
>
>However, I discovered that the numbers for the winning ticket were, indeed,
>the numbers that I wished to pick. Somehow, I got confused by the
>selection
>process, and inadvertently picked different numbers from the ones I wanted.
>
>Had I picked the numbers I wanted, I would have won the lottery.
>I have asked my lawyer to intervene on my behalf. He's going to find a
>judge that agrees with us (no matter how many tries it takes) and ask
>
>Him to order the State of Florida to give me the opportunity to re-pick my
>numbers.
>Once I have the opportunity, I will select the numbers from the winning
>ticket and claim my rightful prize.
>And you can all be proud that you know me, an upstanding, honest citizen of
>Florida and The United States of America.
