When I was a kid my father was a very troubled alcoholic. I was visiting him one day and we happened to go to a liquor store, he may have been buying something to drink I can't remember specifically. But we're waiting in line, and all these people are in front of us buying lotto.

He says "Son you know what you call that?", pointing to the scratch off tickets. "That's an idiot tax." I took it to heart being an impressionable kid wanting to make him happy. I've never bought a scratch ticket to this day.

Drink like a fish though.
