More banquet raffle prizes!!!

[Carrie Keane]

Today I acquired gift certificate donations from Salvatore's, Russell's Steakhouse, Natalie's Mediterranean Eatery and Antoinette's Chocolates. This raffle is going to be amazing!!!

Carrie...SUPER!!!  Just talked to the boss (my wife) & she gave me the priority list of what I should choose if i win.  Unfortunately, it's completely opposite of what I would have picked, but that's why she's "the boss."

Being a fisherman can be a lonely life.

John, If you go home with a rod or a fishing trip or plow, just tell her that was all that was left on the table. Or what she wanted you to get was already grabbed from the table.

John,
I apologize in advance for giving "the boss" more ammunition but, I have to mention what I have for raffles so far... There is (per table) a wine, booze, candy, bath and body works, yankee candle, and several other random non-fishing baskets/items. These are obviously in addition to all the amazing fishing-related items and trips on the tables. In the words of Borat and our lure and raffle director Mike Fortunate: "Wawaweewah" this banquet is going to be awesome!!!!

[John Jarosz]

Steve...I tried that line once before.  It didn't work.  And, Carrie, I think "the boss" has too much ammo already. She thinks she doesn't have enough.  We're at a standoff.  You might have given her more this time.  Anyway, can't wait to see the prizes.  Can't wait to see the AWESOMENESS!!!

John, What if you have multiple winning tickets. Have you agreed on a percentage or a cap?

[John Jarosz]

Steve...yeah, we have agreed on a percentage.  She gets 100%, I get zero.  About the third day after we got married, she told me that "what's her's is her's & what's mine in hers."  I've followed that philosophy for the last 39 years and it's been great ever since.

Steve...you got anything else?  I'm running out of options here.

I'll have to tell you my "trailer story" one of these days...maybe I'll save it for a newsletter article.  After that story, I'm lucky to be alive.

John, you should have gotten her into fishing. At least that way you would be getting baits. She would claim them as hers but, at least you could hope to borrow them!
