Practical joke

Hey fellas

Thought some of you may appreciate this one.

Some of you may be aware that motackle.com.au does a jackpot daily. Me and a mate check it, and have told each other that if we see the others name come up we would let each other know.

I was having a stinker of a day at work yesterday and through comes an e-mail from a mate. He had taken a screenshot of the motackle jackpot from their main page, except he had photoshopped my name into it! and did a bloody good job at that.

So I e-mailed motackle without checking the website... then realised that the website had another name on it! I'd been had! Lucky it was the arvo here, and the shop was closed when I had called, otherwise I would have looked like an even bigger goose! talking on the phone about winning...  After I realised I sent a quick e-mail explaining that I had been had on in a big way, and subsequently my mate would no longer be allowed onto my boat. haha

My mate gave me heaps (probably felt a bit bad too)...

'Bout lunch time today I went onto the site to have a look and bam. The good folks at motackle decided to give me a $100 free voucher because it was so funny and I had been gotten so badly. Cheers guys appreciate it.

All in all, it was well played by my mate, i copped a fair bit of embarrassment and scored myself $100 in fishing gear thanks to the folks at motackle having a good sense of humour!

Not too bad eh?

 

I think this HAS to be the excuse I was looking for to buy myself a new Saltiga?!

 

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Lubrication

Have left stick-on notes for workmates  to ring telling them to contact these people  about different types of lubrication we were chasing only for the number to be from the personal columns for male prostitutes.
