A group of workers always have lunch at the same diner, always go across the street for a Lottery ticket. After taxes, each walks with $20 million.

Unfortunately some missed the luncheon, "Nah, don't feel lucky today".

The list of regrets just got longer......

I'm not much of a lottery kind of person, but I ALWAYS buy in when the people at work do it. I'm not gonna be the only poor sap in the bunch! Unfortunately, so far we are all still poor saps...

This kind of thing explains why I could never give a potential high-$$$ lottery ticket as a gift.

I'd rent Jeremy Clarkson for a week and have him narrate my life.

Heck I'd have a heart attack when the numbers came up, my wife would run off with the cabana boy and give away all my tools.

Maybe not, she says young cabana boys are difficult to train.....

I was about to point out that I actually enjoy Top Gear very much, but I think that may already have been clear...

I'd go to Medical school and open a low fee, cash only clinic in the Appalachian Mountains to provide low cost health care to those that need it.

I'd spend my weekends either fishing or racing cars. The cars would probably be crappy, just like they are today... but I'd hire one of you jokers to work on it for me instead of wrenching on it myself.

I'd want him to do stig facts about me all day. "Some say he doesn't understand fruit. And that on random days, his hobbies include Amish inspired needlework. All we know is, he's called Tom"

My wife opted for James May to narrate her life for a week. I'm snickering thinking of it.
