The Greatest Day Ever!
D.J. Kirkbride
 
I always thought God hated me. Satan, too. And Buddha. So, when the best thing ever happened to me one zany day, I was pleasantly surprised!

I was at work, as I always am Monday through Friday, and I got hungry for a snack. A quick visit to the vending machine was in order. When I walked up to that lovely contraption, a mere thirty feet from my desk, I was overwhelmed by all of the delectable snack choices available to me! Which to choose? Which... to... choose? ? I was about to go for an Almond Joy because sometimes I feel like a nut, when the Snickers caught my eye...

All of the other candy bars had a metal coil in the very front of them. Seventy-five cents and a selection and the candy bar chosen would fall down by the coil moving out from in front of it. But the Snickers bar--oh, the Snickers bar--heh, heh... was already in front of the coil! Someone had tried to get it, and it hadn't fallen!

This got me pondering: Yes, I wanted the Almond Joy more, BUT (!) there was a good chance that I could get TWO SNICKERS BARS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!! After quick consideration I realized there truly was no choice after all... I slid my three quarters into the slot and selected "E-8" (the code for the Snickers bar) and watched intently as the metal coil moved, allowing the Snickers bar behind it to fall... KNOCKING THE SNICKERS BAR IN FRONT OF THE COIL DOWN WITH IT!!!

WOO HOO!

Full success! FULL SUCCESS!!

I triumphantly snagged BOTH of my Snickers bars and returned to my desk, happier than I ever knew I could be. It's the little things, you know?
