Good luck

This morning a boy in my class walked up to my desk and said "Hey Mr. Ritchason, smell this" as he pushed a dirty key chain 2 inches from my nose. Refusing to take him up on his offer I pulled my head away instinctively. He said "My grandma gave this to me. It used to be her good luck charm." Realizing what a sweet momento it was I reached for it and saw that it was a promotional item for a casino in Mississippi. "She used to have her car keys on it until one day she crashed her car into a barn and totalled her car." Guess it didn't bring as much good luck as she would have hoped.
