Free Entry

I'm drinking my carton of Ribena and I'm bored so I'm reading the small print. It's some blurb about their current competition where you can win a car or something, which is great because I don't drive, I just really like Ribena. So anyway, in the spiel they have one of those 'No Purchase Necessary' clauses, where they tell you didn't have to spend that 45p on the drink, you could have just written to them and they would have opened a carton for you to see if you won. I think it must be the law or something to do that as its always on these things, always on Mars bars and McDonald's promotions. Who's job is this? Who gets paid to sit there and unwrap all this chocolate? That's the greatest job in the world! What, so I just sit here opening Mars bars? Ok. Let's see, oh another loser. [munch munch munch] Ok what
about this one... oh no! another loser! [munch munch munch] You gotta be really reaching if you actually write to one of these anyway, I mean a stamp is about the same price as the chocolate bar anyway, and how can you trust them? I'm sure there is some fat fat dude, sick to death of Mars bars and Ribena but bopping it round in his new Mini Convertible with a lifetime's supply of Bovril.
