Important announcement

Mr Hippo wishes to thank the moderators of this group for opening it up to posting it again. He enjoys reading the posts of almost everyone in here.


At this time, Mr Hippo wishes to announce to the moderators that for as long as the group is open, and for as long Mr Hippo is allowed to remain as a member in good standing, should Mr Hippo win the grand prize in the powerball lottery, he will include the moderators, as previously stated, in his good fortune to the sum of 10,000 dollars each.


However, due to recent events in here, Mr Hippo feels that he cannot offer to give a 100,000 dollar donation to Mr dobsons favorite charity.


Mr Hippo has realized that there is something much more important he can do with that sum of money, both for Mr Dobson in particular and society in general.


Mr Hippo now proposes that should he win the powerball grand prize, he will set aside the sum of 100,000 dollars for the purpose of diagnosing and treating Mr Dobsons mental illness.


The events of the past few days have made abundantly clear that Mr Dobson is seriously disturbed, and that it is only a matter of time before Mr Dobson becomes a danger both to himself and society in general.


If by some miracle Mr Dobson is declared cured before the 100,000 dollar total is spent, Mr Hippo will then donate the balance to the charity of Mr Dobsons choice.


Of course, Mr Hippo will insist that on successful completion of treatment, Mr Dobson be examined by an independant psychiatrist of Mr Hippos choosing, in order to verify that Mr dobson is in fact cured.


Mrt Hippo will be able to sleep much better knowing he had helped avert some terrible tragedy caused by Mr Dobsons unbalanced mental state.


Mr Hippo wishes to assure Mr dobson that there is no shame in mental illness, and that he holds no lesser opinion of Mr Dobson because of it. Mr Hippo only wants Mr dobson to be happy, healthy, and whole.

Mr Hippo is Set to Win Big

Mr Hippo has shared his story about how he invested a 3 cent gift in a lottery
ticket for 102 million dollars, which no one won. He then bought a ticket for
the next draw with a grand prize of 130 million, which again no one won. for
last nights draw he went into partnership with his lovely co-worker Belle to
share the grand prize of 138 million.


However Mr Hippo didn't expect to win this prize, in fact he was sure that once
again no one would win, and the pot would continue to row.


He knew this because while walking to the break room at work prior to the draw
with 3 of his coworkers, one of then saw something laying on the floor, and Mr
Hippo picked it up. It was a rolled up one dollar bill that someone had dropped.
Mr Hippo, being the completely unselfish Hippo that he is announced that he
would take the dollar bill and buy a powerball ticket for this saturdays draw
which the four of them would share. He ever wrote the word "lotto" on the back
of the ticket to ensure that the luck that flows from finding the ticket will
manifest itself in the purchase of the winning lotto ticket.


And now, the jackpot is estimated to be 160 million dollars, a particularily
auspacious number, since it is a multiple of 4 and 4 people were present when
the dollar was found.


Mr Hippo now understands the whole cosmic flow of events, starting with those 3
lucky pennies that will lead Mr Hippo and his 3 co-workers to share in the grand
prize of 160 million dollars this Saturday.


The 3 pennies represent the 3 workers with whom Mr Hippo will share the grand
prize.

3 is also the number of draws Mr Hippo was destined to lose before winning the
grand prize in the 4th draw, 3/4th of which he is giving away.


Mr Hippo is, to say the least, very excited.
