Wednesday, January 21, 2015Good morning crew,
My wife must think I'm stupid. Gullible at the least. Almost certainly indifferent. You see, she has planned a 'girls' day' with her girlfriends and she thinks I won't see through her little ploy.
She and her friends are planning a spa day this Saturday. They are going to get manicures and pedicures and massages and whatever else is involved in a spa day. Something with hot rocks and mineral oil, I think.
But the sneaky part is not the spa day, but the choice of spa. I found out that they have picked a spa located inside the largest casino in Michigan. Oddly coincidental, I thought.
I said, "You couldn't find a spa located closer than 90 minutes away, in another state, inside a casino?"
"It's a really good spa," she explained.
"And you're not planning on playing any slot machines while you're there?"
"Slot what? Slot machines? No! The spa isn't even on the same floor as the casino. They don't have any slot machines."
"And when you're done with your massage and pedicure you're going to walk right out of the place and come home, right?"
"Well, no, not exactly..."
"Ah-HA!" I cried, trapping her in my web of logic. "You ARE going to gamble. And here we are, still eating dinner on a folding card table."
"No, no, there is a band playing in the casino lounge that night. A really good band. You should come out later and have a drink and watch the band with us! It'll be fun."
"And you won't try to lure me into gambling?" I asked.
"Noooo...you'll be there to keep an eye on me!"
"Well, okay! I think I will."
"Great," she said. "Make sure to bring money."
Laugh it up,
Joe

***As a frequent flier, I get annoyed when other passengers disregard the airline attendant's pleas to stay seated when the plane taxies to the gate. One attendant captured my heart by announcing:
"The captain will be parking the aircraft at Gate 41 in approximately two minutes. I've seen the captain's car. So if I were you, I'd remain seated."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy. After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural history museum.
"I've just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed. To which the curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out."
A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. "You were right about the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?"
"Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."
