Laundry Lottery

Laundry Lottery

A situation where one finds cash in a random piece of clothing unexpectedly, where the subject receives and artificial sensation of euphoria, that last for about 5 seconds and feels as though they’ve won the $300 Million power ball. All negative thoughts quickly leave and regardless of the mood the subject is in, they will have a positive outlook on life for the remainder of the day. LL winners who find cash that they thought was originally spent, experience a dual sensation lasting approximately 10 seconds longer.

Situations that make winners of the laundry lottery.

(1) re-wearing clothes from a previous nights affair
(2) left over cash that survives a laundry run
(3) Disillusioned intoxication, where one forgets to pay random debts (e.g. waitresses, bartenders, drug dealers, etc).
Morpheus: “What the fuck are you smiling about?”
Bob: “ I just won the laundry lottery.”
Morpheus: “How much this time?”
Bob: “Found a c-note in my shirt that I forgot to give to the hooker last week”

Laundry Asshole

A laundry Asshole is someone who doesn't take their laundry out so someone else can use the washer and/or dryer. Usually found in college campuses or laundromats, though laundromat people are usually more alert to their clothes so they aren't pilfered.
Oh no, why did I leave for dinner right before my laundry was done? I'm gonna be a laundry asshole tonight I guess...

Laundry Fairy

When you empty the washing machine and find a coin at the bottom, you have been visited by the Laundry Fairy, an ethereal being more charitable than the Tooth Fairy (although in some reported cases, the money has been left in exchange for an article of clothing).
Why is this quarter cold & wet? It was a gift from the Laundry Fairy!
