One in Every Box!

Well recently I had an experience that I believe has helped me understand the person holding the Office of The President of The United States. It happened quite by accident and I must say it was a very pleasant surprise. I was at the local enjoying a lovely cigar and a nice box of Cracker Jack - I know what you're thinking but they do go together very well - anyway, I fish around inside the box as I'm finishing up and discover the prize inside - I opened it with all the anticipation of a Christmas morning and excitedly pulled out my valuable prize - Oh Joy! I shouted as a modest crowd gathered - I've gotten a Flaming Nobel Peace Prize as well! - Now I know what that lad from Kenya felt when he discovered his prize in a box - bewdy ~:0)

Great satire, Chas, but it comes as a disappointment to me to learn that Cracker Jack has sunk to such a low standard of quality in their prizes. They used to include truly unique and valuable stuff such as lead soldiers, plastic rings that glow in the dark and other fun stuff. The "recession" must be affecting them too!

Artist Reply: Right you are John - lacking variety - why down here at the local as I look around the room I see two of me mates over at the dart board wearing at least three NPPs each - over at the bar another half-dozen and don't get me started with the game interference with those dangling awards at the pool tables - it's like a plague of locust! Still, does add some color to the place and the quiet clinking of the NPPs is rather soothing - thanks for the great comment and a tip of the ol' Fourecks to one and all ~:0)
