The funniest thing happened at work yesterday. It still cracks me up.
It was around 3:30pm or so and I felt like having something with bubbles to drink. I had already downed my usual 3 – 4 litres of water and wasn’t feeling like drinking more, so I scrounged around for some change in my wallet to get a can of Ginger Ale.
I walked into the lunchroom where the vending machines were and two ladies from the art department were sitting having their break. I smiled and said “hi” to them as I always do because they do a lot of work for me. They always giggle when they see me cause I’m usually cracking jokes when I come into the art department. Anyways, I reach the vending machine and before I put the change in I notice that a pack of peanuts are just at the edge ready to drop but not quite so.
I look over at the ladies and tell them about the peanuts. One of them gets up and goes “ok, lets shake this machine to get it to drop”. So, we push it back and forth trying to get these $1.00 peanuts to fall and two shakes later plop! Then the women who was helping me points out that a chocolate bar is about to fall too from all our shaking. So, three of us shake the vending machine and plop! We all start to laugh and I’m trying to give them the chocolate and the peanuts but they won’t have it, so I only take the chocolate (which I gave to someone else) and we give the peanuts to another lady who’s in the lunchroom.
Finally, I get my Ginger Ale. As I walk away I hear some change falling. I figured it was someone else getting a snack or something. I get back to my desk and five minutes later one of the women who was shaking the vending machine with me comes up to my desk and throws four quarters down. I go “what’s this?” and she tells me that after I got my soda the vending machine spat out four quarters! Can you believe that? Not only did I shake two snacks out of that vending machine for free but I got my soda for free too!
Needless to say, we figured luck was on our side so we invested in a lottery ticket. Too funny.
