Bert and I donate to UNICEF on a monthly basis - not just at Halloween although those little orange boxes the kids bring around are great for getting rid of the pennies in our change drawer (yes we do have an entire drawer dedicated to lose change).

But I digress from my story which is all about our latest charitable donation. We went to the tennis last weekend because it was only $10 and we wanted to see if all that grunting is amplified by the tv microphones (it’s not). Anyway, they had these tents with promotional crap (like free pots of yogurt and Irish Spring body wash) and one tent that was running a silent auction.

It was one of those silent auctions where you can see everyone’s bids and it was early in the morning so Bert and I decided to help Tennis Canada by driving up the price on a photo of Tiger Woods on some golf course somewhere. So I bid on it.

Later that night we got a phone call: ‘Congratulations, you have the winning bid for the Tiger Woods photo’.

‘Um, yeah? Really? That’s great. I mean, really? Um how much did we bid?’

We’re still waiting for the bill to come through. In the meantime, I’m pretty pissed cause I’m pretty sure you don’t get good karma for being charitable by accident.
