'There's a sucker born every minute.' -P.T. Barnum

The only thing that pisses me off more than the idiots that piss away their money by gambling with crooks (in this case, the crooks being the respective state governments that have a lottery) are the idiots that do it first thing in the morning. Without fail, I'll have 10 minutes to get to work - I'll stop at 7-11, seeking a red bull, gas and maybe a biscuit - and in line, in front of me, is some jackass with a stack of lottery tickets taller than it is wide, who just can't wait to gamble his stupid life away until after lunch. Ever heard of a savings account? Think of what great economic shape this country would be in if it weren't for lottery.

'Oh, but it goes to schools and roads!' Sure, and politicans always tell the truth. I've got a beautiful bridge, in San Francisco for sale.. it's got golden gates and wire suspension.. for only a dollar a play, you could win it! Schmucks.
