So...any suggestions about what to do with the money?
I think my first act will be to have some quality beets delivered to Ratzenhoffer....golden dog bowls to the ehBeths....some diamond studded hamster wheels for Craven....hmmm, what else?
Yes of course, buy a long lived cat.

You can't tell from the kitten.
What does the parrot want?
Send the money to me, of course. You can't use Euros in Australia anyway...
I won a similar lottery several months ago. Just never got around to claiming the prize.
fine, what does crackers want?
new dog bowls would be lovely - can we have a second set, to keep at the hamburgers? I can't afford the armed guard to keep driving the first sets back and forth

Dante eats on top of the washer machine while SallyDog eats on the patio, it's really quite simple.
Dys, my dogs tend to eat their meals at the same time, in the same city.
Two sets of bowls really are best.

Brilliant, bunnikins!

I see you at the spa with all your friends ... or maybe on a cruise ...

That is an EXAMPLE. There will be four.
Don't you go be getting all pushy like.
Dr. Mrs.?
Seems a tad, er, fishy....
Well, assuming it's on the up and up, you'll be coming over here for a visit, won't you?
Don't fret about Pacco, he already has two bowls...
Four dog bowls. For my dogs.
A spa adventure, or cruise. For you.
Nothing for me.
Please. I have such a humble lifestyle.

Hell yeah.
I'll bring my own sofa.
Oooh... Microsoft? Lotteries? With an office in Amsterdam, a mobile phone number as a reference, a name that doesn't exactly have dutch roots, and worst of all, has Millones in the title?
Funny thing though that Microsoft gives away almost a billion dollars to 'promote internet usage' all over the world. Doesn't sound like a solid marketing strategy to me
Given all that, and the fact that you are an Australian, I'd hire a dozen P.I. 's in order to hunt down the criminal stingray that killed him so brutally, and publicly crucify him. Nail him above the entrance of the Sidney Opera house or something. You know, perform a public service.
Nah, not microsoft, it's from Dr. Mrs.
And that's Pacco, not Paco, get it straight. Pacco as in italian for package.
I never remember what Paco is a nickname for in Spanish - Enrique?
(and he'll ferret out whatever bowls rest in your kitchen at his height level...)
Pacco dono - gift package - probably not a term in italian, I made it up.
Stumble It!
