Swedish Fish

Today, I would like to share with you the miracle of the Swedish Fish.

I was running a little late to class this morning, so I didn't have time to grab anything to eat. I was tired and knew I would have a hard time keeping my eyes open. So I stopped at the vending machine at the end of my dorm hall. I had four quarters in my wallet--just enough for Swedish Fish! So, I put my money in, and noticed that the machine told me I had $2 in credit! Someone must have left money in the machine. So I pushed the number/letter combination for my $1 Swedish Fish. As the machine began to unravel the large metal coil located at C7 to release my candy, it caught on the corner. Everyone's worst nightmare. Right as I wanted to throw my hands up in frustration, I noticed that the machine said, "selection sold out. make another selection". I still had $2 credit! So I pushed good ol' C7 again, and received not just one, but TWO bags of Swedish Fish, as well as my original four quarters back. Talk about luck, and a good start to a very long day!
