The House Of Odd

So it is just another dreary winter day and I’ve only got some left
over frozen pizza for lunch. Dreadful. I needed a side dish for this stellar
meal. Where else could I go besides the vending machine?

There wasn’t much to choose and I’ve been on a Baked Lays Potato Chips
kick lately. They are not nearly as tasty as their deep fried
brethren but sometimes you just have to mix things up to add a little
spice to life.

The row with chips sat high on the top of the snack shelves. After
inserting the exact change and pressing ‘A1′ into the keypad my semi
edible treat was released from its corkscrew prison.

As it fell on its way to freedom it landed on a shiny foiled package.

The impact dislodged the unknown item and it fell into the receiving
bin along with my chips.

It was the last one of its kind so it was a mystery as to what the
vending gods had bestowed upon me.

As I reached in and pulled out two items, I realized my ‘bonus’ item
was cookies.

Now they were just vanilla wafers but you can’t be upset when cookies
just fall into your lap.

I quickly left the break room now paranoid that by some freak chance
the vending machine service guy would appear and he would know by
looking at my guilty face that I had acquired two snacks for the price
of one.
