Monday, December 17, 2012Good morning crew,
Welcome to Monday, folks. My weekend was nice and uneventful. Nothing exciting happened at the wedding Friday night. Nothing exciting even happened at the reception afterward. But something exciting did happen in between.
As it turns out the wedding reception was held in the ballroom of a hotel that is only five minutes away from a casino, and since we had an hour to kill after the ceremony the wife and I decided to slip in for a drink and check the place out.
So, drink in hand, we wandered over to the Roulette table where I threw 20 bucks down on red because what else are you going to do in a casino? As luck would have it red came up and I made myself a quick $20.
As I was about to reach for my chips the wife said, "Why don't you let it ride?"
Before I could articulate of a good reason she continued, "Who knows...this could be your lucky night."
So I let it ride.
As I walked away from the table empty-handed I asked her if she was going to try her luck or if she were content just to ruin my night. Since she doesn't like table games she picked a slot machine at random and popped in a 50.
About a dozen spins later she hit a $170 jackpot.
So I made her pay me back the 40 bucks she lost me.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***Duck decoys, fishing rods, boots -- outdoor gear of all kinds was piled high in the garage. One day I found my wife staring at the mess. "I hope I die first, so I don't have to get rid of all this," she sighed.
"Look on the bright side," I suggested. "If I go first, you can put an ad in the paper. When all the men come by to check out the stuff, you can pick out a replacement for me."
Still staring at the pile, she said, "Nah. Whoever would want all this stuff wouldn't be my type."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*"Do you remember first meeting your wife?"
"Sure, I found Jill lying face down in the gutter. I lifted her to her feet and promised her that if she agreed to marry me, she would begin a new life and I'd never allow her near the gutter again."
"Wow, what an incredible story! I hope she appreciates what you did for her."
"Not really. Even though she stunk at it, Jill hated to give up bowling."
