Deal or No Deal

Three Hundred Twenty Seventh Post: Deal or No Deal

Yesterday one location of the local banks was giving out piggy banks for applying for a credit card. I really didn’t care about the card but wanted the piggy. We called our local bank to see if the pigs were available. The teller replied that they were giving away umbrellas. We said we were introduced in the card but wanted a piggy. After some time the teller finally gave in and said, “Alright you can have a piggy.” We got one of three piggy’s left.

Sounds like a lot of trouble for a piggy bank. We were making jokes about it. Something like having a million dollar deal, but not giving in. “That’s a good offer, but the deal is off unless we get a piggy.” “Deliver the million dollars not in a briefcase, instead put into a piggy bank.”

I wonder if a small investment in piggy banks gets hundreds of credit card applications. It’s like grade school when you get a sticker under your lunch tray and get a popsicle. The prize is not large, but the demand is high. And it is a whole lot of fun to win.

So until we find joy in one of the small prizes... May the Creative Force be with You
