"There's no such thing as luck," said Goldie

"Skill wins every time," said Goldie as he took the game. "Consider Molson's Golden Ale."

"You mean Molson's left nothing to change?" suggested Goldie's opponent.

I would have interpreted it as "You're so drunk right now it's easy to beat you at checkers."

Snow Ghost Pie tastes as good today as it did when Grandma baked it back in '33

This story was allegedly told to Hershey's in 1972 and used for an advertisement. It's... strange.
I remember when I was a boy, we had this handyman who shovelled our snow in the winter.

Now he wasn't your ordinary handyman, no sir. He was a cunning old devil. He was in direct contact with leprechauns, witches... trolls... and ghosts.

We kids didn't know whether to be scared of the handyman, or laugh at him. Mostly I guess we were scared.

Sigh.
