Well! Apparently, The Universe also got wind of my plans. Look what I got in the mail today!
It's a booklet of offers from one of the casinos we will be hitting during CasinoPalooza 3. This is on the front, to the left of my address. No missing it! Even though they spelled pennyillionaire differently, I'm pretty sure the meaning is the same.
Oh, and before I got home to find this surprise in the mailbox, I had stopped by Waterside Mart for some scratchers, where I found TWO PENNIES!
One on the way to the bathroom:
Which was a 2017.
And while waiting in line, I saw another penny eager for the grasp of my sweaty fingers:
It was under the edge of the counter, much like the one I found in Orb K yesterday. This one was ALSO a 2017. Good thing. Because I was so rattled at finding the second one, and the clerk asking if he could help me while I was taking the close-up, that I then picked it up and dropped it into the exact same shirt pocket as the first penny.
I'm pretty sure the clerks are going to suspect me of being a secret shopper. Maybe they will treat me nicer, and sweep up better. Though let the record show that Waterside Mart has the friendliest clerks and is the cleanest of all the convenience stores I frequent.
I'm not even sure this is irony, but I latched onto that concept for my title. As you well know, Val and irony are not besties, with irony being pretty much misunderstood by Val.
Anyhoo...looks like signs are pointing to me becoming a pennyillionaire one of these days...one way or another!

Is there a slot machine that takes pennies at that casino? I say use the two pennies you found on the day of the casino offer. You could come home a penny millionaire :)
ReplyDeleteSadly, the one-armed bandits only take paper money now. And some of them don't even have a single arm!
DeleteIn the olden days, you could buy tokens to feed them. But now it's all bills or tickets that they spit out when you hit the cash-out button. Not nearly as fun, but a little bit more hygienic.
I could take my pennies along with me for luck, I suppose. Those two. Not all 66 of them!
You sure are lucky finding pennies.
ReplyDeleteRight place. Right time. To take advantage of the misfortune of those who've lost them, I suppose.
DeleteYou are well on your way. I think you should play the penny slots.
ReplyDeleteFor you information, IRONIC is when a stupid person tries to put a crease in his pants while still wearing them.
Those are the ones I've been playing most recently, though I used to be a strictly quarters gal.
DeleteIs MORONIC when he does it some more?
Val--I think Joeh's ironing habits make him iconic... and his wife lucky. If he burns his legs and ends up in the hospital for a short stay, his wife will be blissfully Joeh-free for a few delightful days.
ReplyDeleteOoh! That's harsh! But she WOULD be able to let her used water sit around with a paper towel over it for later, without him pouring it out. And she wouldn't have to hide her snacks under a kitchen towel on the counter.
DeleteThat is more than harsh. Don't know what I've done to deserve it, or made anyone think my wife would want me in the hospital. Actually she would be very upset, thank you very much.
DeleteHA HA! When I saw this I laughed out loud. My husband asked what was so funny. I showed him and he didn't crack a smile until I read the word "casino." Then his face lit up. I think you should attempt to become a pennyillionare.
ReplyDeleteFunny how these threads in the rich tapestry of my life manage to weave themselves together.
DeleteI'll let YOU become a weirdoillionaire! Casinos are good for that, too.
I think that was sent by your mom (via the casino)!!
ReplyDeleteWell, she surely persuaded the Missouri Lottery people to use a ladybug as one of the symbols on scratchers, too!
