- This reminds me of a UL that I don't recall having seen come up in this group:
-
- FOAF has <2,4,> tickets to a <insert name of local sports team having a dismal
- season> game, but he doesn't want to go because the team sucks. So, he leaves
- the pair of tickets on the windshield of his car, with a note offering them
- to whoever wants them. When he returns to his car at the end of the working
- day, he finds <2,4,6,> additional tickets to the same game on his windshield.
-
- When I've heard this story in the past, it's usually been about a midwestern
- or eastern NFL team. This year I started hearing it about the Dodgers. And
- please, no "it's not a UL; this really happened" replies. Whether or not such
- a thing actually occurred somewhere, it's still a UL.
