BUT WAIT, THERES MORE
It seems of late that there have been some competitions happening where the winner can receive a dinner for 6,also another competition where the winner receives 6 Steak Knives,
but wait, Theres more or shouldn’t there be more?
The competition where we could only choose 5 friends to take to a fancy restaurant as the first prize, many people said they had more than 5 friends.
Wouldn’t it stand to reason then, that if that person was to win 6 Steak Knives, they would need more, due to their having more than 5 friends?
I’m a little perplexed as to why anyone would enter such a competition if the prize could not be shared amongst all their friends.
Let’s say Miss 1a had 8 friends,
she would have to look for a competition that had a prize she could share 9 ways, (herself and 8 friends).
Then what about Mr 2b, he has 12 friends, so the only competition he could enter would be where he could share his prize 13 ways. (Himself and his 12 friends).
Of course, if you had only 3 friends and the prize was for 6,8,even 10 dinners, steak knives, pizzas or whatever, Then you would have to go and make more friends, after all we can't have too many friends can we.
Hang on, why look for more friends, as that would only limit the competitions you can enter, best to stay with the 3 you have and then enjoy your prize without feeling bad about not sharing with all your friends.
So maybe, it is wise for those of us that have more than 3 friends, should look at our friends and see which ones we can cut from the list,
as friends, I’m sure they would understand the reasoning behind our decision. If not, they probably shouldn’t be our friends in the first place.
Another option would be to have no friends, so you can enter any competition and never have to worry about sharing the prize with anyone.
But surely, we all deserve at least 1 friend. If only to share whatever prize we would win if we did in fact win a competition.
The only other alternative I see, is not to enter any competitions,
thus we wouldn’t have to worry about what the prize was, how many we would have to share it with, and even if it was a “real” prize.
After all, haven’t the competitions on here lately been make believe anyway. I hope that doesn’t mean our friendships here are make believe.
“Friendship
is not something you learn in school.
But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship,
you really haven't learned anything”.
I was bored and wrote this blog for laughs, please do not take it seriously. Relax and enjoy.
Make believe prizes will be given at random intervals during the life of this blog

I loved that movie...one of the classics...did you ever see the Stephan King movie about the writer imprisoned by an obsessed fan after he suffers a car crash...Cathy Bates was the actress...
She played a very believable part did Cathy
But Simmo, here was what mentioned on the other blog.
Let’s stand still for a minute and imagine that there was a competition and you had won the first prize which is a dinner for six in a posh restaurant. It is to be a pure platonic outing and you may invite any 5 CS members to join you; all expenses – even airfares – paid.
According to the rules, you may invite neither your lover nor anybody else you have met previously
You see, that blog mentioned NOTHING about inviting FRIENDS.
I think you may have been confused.
Here is what you just copied and pasted.

I am sorry to hear about your headache.
It's lucky for you that the next imaginary prize in my bag is a years supply of pain relief tablets.
Seems as though they may come in handy for you.
Congratulations.

But you see, it also says "5 CS members," not 5 CS FRIENDS.. yes? no?
Yes it says CS members, that is correct. BUT it was thought that CS members was to mean CS friends.
I do understand your thinking.
Maybe everyone else was wrong.
So because you are technically correct, you have won....wait for it,
An all expense paid trip to ITALY,
Unfortunately the fine print says it is only an all expenses one way ticket.
Still its a great imaginary prize.
Yes indeed, you are very smart.
You will make lots of friends that way.
Good on you.
The role of competition host becomes you, can't wait to see what other treasures you're hiding in that bag

lucky for you this is not a competition then.
But look at what you have won.
Of course all prizes are pulled randomly out of my imaginary prize bag.
You can use your own imagination now and buy yourself that "jeep" that you have always wanted.
I am sure you will have a wonderful time,
did i also mentioned that it was for you and your family.
How very nice of you to pop in and say hi.
A little pretentious thinking that you may receive a prize though.
But what the heck,
lets see whats inside my bag of imaginary prizes,
AHHHH, just the thing i know you have always wanted.
A different coloured wig for every day of the month.
Now you can be a blonde, brunette, auburn, red head, whatever colour you feel like being.
So there you go.
Enjoy your imaginary prize.
Hang around, i am sure it will become stranger and hopefully funnier.
What about romantic dinner for two ???
Dream prize :-)...
it just so happens that i have such an imaginary prize in my bag.
but to eligible,
do you have someone in mind to share such a dinner with?.
No worries about sharing the prize with anyone.
Silly...or not so silly me
It is a Prize
In that case you have won an imaginary "romantic dinner for two"
all expenses paid.
At the "Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud". Your Imaginary dinner partner will be there waiting for you.
Opps, sorry, i just looked at the fine print,
It actually doesn't give a date as to when to use those numbers, guess you may have to try them every week.
Again Sorry.
I keep forgetting to read the imaginary fine print.
So, how shall we cope with our friends now?
that is very kind of you.
this is why you received such a prize.
Hey good looking,
Are you talking about our "imaginary" friends, or "real" friends?
I still have many imaginary prizes to give away, there are some that can be shared with only imaginary friends and some that are for the individual person as well.
I am glad that you have got a laugh out of this blog.
Your laughter certainly has brighten this blog.
Oh and it has become infectious.
I'd better go... a hair stylist...polish my nails...ahhh..a new dress may be ??? what do you think ? Or am I not a prize he
won?
Thanks Simmo
Sorry, i forgot to tell you that a limo will be there to pick you up shortly and take you shopping for a lovely outfit and then off to the hairdressers.
Included in your prize was an imaginary gift voucher to cover all that.
I can see by your imaginary reaction that you may be happy.
If I don't win a prize here I want my comment deleted.
And it must be something I can share by 8 other people. Oh good grief! Then there is their wives as well!
imaginary prizes are handed out randomly here,
Seeing as i missed the comment 69 prize, you are lucky to have won the prize for an all expenses paid 8 day safari through the kalahari region for 14 people.
i am sure that this is a most sought after imaginary prize.
choose carefully who you shall take with you.
no its no dream,
And yes you're going to New Caledonia.
