shrader Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 So each week here at work, they always send out this email about entering in a raffle to win tickets for the "Superbowl Champion New England Patriots". I am beyond sick of this at this point. The raffle itself is fine, but they're not the superbowl champions. Each time I've received the email this season, I've sent a different reply. Here's what I've said so far: 1. They're not the Superbowl champions. 2. You're giving away Steeler tickets? How should I respond this week? My only idea so far: "I'm not interested, but if you have any tickets for the Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins, please let me know."
Cugalabanza Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 How about, "Hi, I'm a Bills fan and I don't have a leg to stand on. Good luck in the playoffs." Sorry, kidding. I'm sorry for your predicament. Sounds awful to be surrounded by those smirking pricks.
smokinandjokin Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Tell them you would love to enter, but you are already in a raffle to win tickets to see the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
taterhill Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Tell them to eat a Bowl of Dicks and a Bucket of Balls

aussiew Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Tell them you would love to enter, but you are already in a raffle to win tickets to see the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's great! Then each subsequent week you can just add in other teams like the Cardinals, Lions, Raiders etc.

ACor58 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Tell them to eat a Bowl of Dicks and a Bucket of Balls 816648[/snapback] You mean tell them to have dinner with Tom Brady at Tedy Bruschi's house?

Then if you do, pin the tickets somewhere where everyone can see them going by your office/cubicle. On the following monday when they're still hanging there, mention to anyone in earshot "Oh, I forgot I had those".
The Avenger Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Enter. Win. Sell the seats. Buy something nice (like a Bills jersey).
meazza Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I thought the Bruins one I listed earlier would be good, but then I remembered that I'm in the middle of bandwagon nation and they don't care about hockey anymore. 816715[/snapback] So mention the Red Sox.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Shhh... Don't tell Red Sox fans either, according to them they are still World Champs!
meazza Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Shhh... Don't tell Red Sox fans either, according to them they are still World Champs! 817096[/snapback] And according to them, it wasn't 30 generations before they saw another championship.
shrader Posted October 26, 2006 Author Posted October 26, 2006 Shhh... Don't tell Red Sox fans either, according to them they are still World Champs! 817096[/snapback] See, that's the thing. We have raffles for those tickets too, but the emails don't say "World Series Champion Boston Red Sox". Both teams are one season removed from their championship. Why do they use that billing for one and not the other? People will go see the Sox no matter what, but they have to throw that label out there for the Pats so that they look important around here.
