LOL, this is a bit off topic guys but I just have to share this...My poor father has to have the worst luck in the world... listen to this..
In the 80's My dad and a friend were in california, by some old mountains, he was there on a construction job.. well there was an old man who had a small location that was selling precious rocks, that he had found around mountains.. well my father has always liked precious rocks so he saw this 1 in particular which he really liked, the shape of an egg, and was a beutiful green he told me.. the man told him he would sell him the rock for $32 .. my dad's friend (benny) quickly said, no, dont waste your money on that, thats nothing.. buy something useful.. my dad lost his instict to purchase the rock so he just said screw it, moments later a little old man walks up, and picks up the egg shaped rock, he told the man he wanted it, again the man told him it was for sale for $32 .. the old man gave him 2 twentys and left..my dad saw this and thought nothing of it.. later on when they got home, my father but on the news.. the first thing that was broadcast was the location where my father went, when he saw the rock... the little old man was there, my dad was like.. "what the fuck" .. get this guys.. it was discovered that the egg shaped emerald was worth an estimated 2.5 million dollars...
suicide?
Not yet...
My dad happens to a numbers man, he loves to play the lottery, although I think its a waste.. anyways.. in the early 90's The lotto jackpot hit $115 million dollars, before that my dad had not played in several months..he wrote a ticket, and left the money on the T.V on our family room, as he left to work, he told my mother to play the ticket for him.. she said o.k that she would do it later.. later on, from work he went to a friends house and was playing some pool.. the t.v was on and the lotto drawing came up, he had a copy of the numbers he played, as he looked at the tickets and looked at the numbers he realized that he has just won $115 million dollars... he has all 6!! he didnt say anything to his friends, and just left early.. he went home thinking my mom was throwing some kind of party, he was surprised that all the lights were off.. when he knocked my mom opened w/ sleepy eyes.. he didnt know what was up.. he looked at the T.V and saw the ticket.. he could not believe it.. he told her "you didnt play the ticket..." she said, oh.. no I forgot.. he said, "really, well..we had all 6 numbers" and went to bed...
suicide?
Not yet..
Like I said, My dad always plays the lotto, in around 96' or so He played $80 dollars worth of tickets.. when he left the store from buying the numbers.. my sister (she was like 7) gave him a little paper of numbers for him to play.. this was on the way home.. it was raining.. my dad was not going to turn.. he went home.. when the numbers came up.. he had won nothing, and yes, you guessed it the 6 numbers were the ones my sister gave him.. the jackpot was at $60 million..
suicide??
Not yet..

Poor guy, when will he get his break??
