Jackpot

Recommended Posts

So tonight I wandered up to the vending machine to see what I would suppliment my crappy dinner with. I bought some little debbie nutty bars, and fig nutons. I then noticed that the Reese's Peanutbutter cups were jamed in the machine on a little plastic tab. I put in my first 50cents and there was only a little bit of movement. Then I popped in another 50 cents, and JACKPOT I got 6 packs of peanut butter cups. In this bout of man verses the vending machine I won. But there were aparently 4 losers before me.

Hey those ballance my discovery from this weekend. Someone ate my english muffins from the refrigerator even though I have my name written all over them. I didn't give anyone my express permission to eat those english muffins, and yet I get in and half of my package is missing. I but the whole grain ones so it is like 2-3 bucks a pack. Bastard!

Back in the Late 1960's one of my buddies on the JV football team at our High School.. managed to hit the vending machine Jackpot, frequently....:|
It was done in such a way that it paid off a few times a week for weeks at a time...
Candy AND Money!!!!!!:)After practice was over and the building nearly deserted those who shall remain nameless, (but who are Legends !!!! of MY youth). would quietly go to the machines in the senior lounge, tip them forward onto their faces.....:o:o
and then tip them one more time,, Onto the top...... and gravity would do the rest !!!!!!!
No heavy Lifting required.....
hahahaha.. all sorts of stuff,,, coins candy cookies etc. would rain outta the machine,, and the guys would scoop it up into their Brown Paper Bags,,, saved from lunchtime after lunchtime....hahahahaha
Then the machine would be set back upright....
Never vandalized anything,, Never hurt the machine,,,Never broke into a thing,,, did NOT kill the "goose that layed the Golden Egg"...... and did NOT overdo the deed day after day...... But a couple of times a week for most of the season, someone would work their magic and the whole team would share in that little sugar boost which came from a "free" Baby Ruth or Milky Way or Three Musketeers Bar. (he who shall not be named kept the coins ).....on the way out to practice...
When the season ended , so did the jackpots.... but the coins circulated among the lunchtime " card playing crowd " for the rest of the year.....
Terrible behavior, I Know,, for a Catholic School Team.....But God must have a sense of humor...
We ended the season 6 - 1 -1 .......league champs:ph34r:B|;):)

Ahhhhh, the little pleasures of life. Complete victory. What a feeling! The power you feel when you get a two-for, but man, you won the mother-load! Wooooorrrrrrrd!

Back in school, on the tube stations- entering the number selection repeatedly (eg 1212121212.. for item 12)sometimes gave multiple items (an extra 1 or 2) or listening carefully and pressing coin return just as the item was released could give some money back.
donnt know if it works on the newer machines (this was 5+ years ago..
