No no, those are hypothetical. What's happened to you?

You don’t get to arbitrate what has and has not happened to me. What sort of oddball remark was this?

Funny story about that banquet though. A guy at my table paid a few hundred dollars in a silent auction thinking that he was bidding on a gun. He was actually bidding on a lottery ticket for a gun. His wife was unhappy with his mistake. He did win a duck call alongside the lottery ticket IIRC. This was in NW Arkansas and was a part of a crawfish boil. Definitely not the Bay Area.

You're right. I apologize.

An auction for a lottery ticket to win a gun. Are you sure there wasn't a raffle involved somewhere? :^)

A raffle for a rifle?
