Good Riddance to 'Clave Raffles

Having been accused in another thread of bringing a
$5 item to a $20 raffle I must protest. In the first
place it was a $10 raffle and this is what I brought:

I carry one in my vest and I thought it was a practical,
useful raffle gift.

At any rate, I think raffles are a bad idea, someone is
always gonna feel like they got screwed, so why bother ?

If you think a first aid kit is a cheap, cheesy raffle
gift how about golf balls ? No, not a box of 12 new Nikes,
not even a sleeve of 3 new Titleists, two cut-up, beat-up,
muddy, unmatched range balls found in somebody's backyard
on a North Cackalacky golf course. Now *that's* cheap.

Anyway, like the Subject says, good riddance to raffles.
