Local Man Realizes That All the Fun Actually Does Happen When He's Gone

An area man left a friend's party last week, only to come back and realize that all his friends had won millions of dollars while he was away. "You know, it's definitely true when people say 'All the fun happens when you're away'," said the obviously disappointed man, Gary. "I used to think that they were just complainers or exaggerators, but it's totally true!" While Gary went to pick up some chips during the party, the ten other party-goers were visited by a special TV show that gives away money. "They promised they'd save Charades for when I got back. But no, the stupid TV show guy played it with them," said an angered Gary. This is the second time that Gary has missed the hanging out excitement. Last weekend his friends won free pizza from a local pizza shop. "There was plenty pizza left when Gary got back," said Paul, another friend, in defense, "But as soon as he got back the dog and cat leaped out of nowhere and swiped all the rest of it." Gary's friends were very sorry, but would not vow to never let Gary leave their gatherings, fearing that without his usual absence the party would be particularly boring.
