I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Ann, that's a ferret.
juliana, I don't remember too many specifics, but this kind of fits your scenario.
Some years ago (1970s?), two South American soccer teams were playing a World Cup qualifier. One team could advance to the next round if it won by some riduculous margin (maybe 5 or 6 goals), and the other team wasn't affected by the outcome. The team got its margin of victory, and collusion was argued.
Unfortunately, I can't Google anything about that game. But "soccer" and "collusion" will give you a couple other examples where that type of scenario has been argued.

I just went to the vending machine, and noticed that one of my nickels wasn't a nickel, but rather a 0.20 Swiss Franc coin. At current exchange rates, this represents nearly a 400% windfall!

Favre took a sack for...someone or other to break a record a few years back. People (I.e.) me and most folks I know are still a little pissy about that. (Also re Favre - how has his wife not killed him yet? This is crazy.)

Go, Tom!! May such fortunate events occur to all of today. (I found a new groomer who is right around the corner from my office, was very gentle with my elderly dog, was way cheaper than the Petco or Petsmart, and did a great job. I feel very lucky indeed.)

Perhaps you've found the wondrous alchemical vending machine. Why not check your wallet and see if any of your dollars have transformed into euros?

Hey, if that happens 19 more times, you could buy a gallon of gas.

“Not dead yet!”
When I come back from San Francisco, I need to find a good groomer to help take care of Pisces. She still has quite a few mats, mostly on her legs, that I'd love to take care of without shaving down.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh yeah, I remember that.
(Also re Favre - how has his wife not killed him yet? This is crazy.)
I. Do. Not. Know. Plus, at this point? The only place he can go is Tampa, and he would get killed there. This whole debacle has left a bad taste in my mouth. That said, GO PACK!

If it happens one more time, I can almost buy a stamp!
