Making It Worse

by The Panda Man · 10/06/2006 12:10 pm

You have just blown $10,000 in a casino. What do you do now?

A. Sit down and have a good cry.

B. Call the wife and tell her she might as well initiate divorce proceedings.

C. Get drunk.

D. Do something stupid to make the news.

Let’s try “D.”

A man in South Florida was taken into custody after he drove his pickup into the Miccosukee Resort and Gaming Casino in an apparent fit of anger after losing $10,000, according to a Local 6 News report.

Police said the man rammed his vehicle into the north door of the casino in West Miami-Dade.

Nothing like a little reckless anger to make things all better.

That’s why we need casinos in Texas, so we have a proper outlet for our anger.

No casinos please

#3 That is right, lets give our money to Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, etc.

If the guy could not afford to lose $10,000.00 he should not have been in the casino. I like to go to the casino now and again and I just as soon lose my money in Texas as in Louisiana.

You have just blown $10,000.00 in a casino. What do you do now? Well, here’s my “Top Ten” list of things you can do:

1) You become a politician and hold your hand out.

2) You can work in the mayor pro teem’s office and approve a bonus to yourself.

3) You can become the president of a university and you write it off as entertainment.

4) You can go to FEMA and file for disaster relief.

5) You can go to the nearest welfare office and file false claims.

6) You can get some more credit cards and “max” them out.

7) You can write a “hot check”—your already screwed so what else could happen.

You can blow up the casino so that no one else can be as stupid as you.

9) You can act like government and tax something.

10) You can find somebody with money and marry them.

These are some pretty good options. But feel free to add to my list.

11) Complain that the government should outlaw gambling because you are not responsible enough to handle your own finances.

Gambling = Tax on the mathematically challenged.

I know full well the odds going in but i enjoy a trip to the casino and I fully realize I will most likely be coming back with less money than I left with.

But if you want to try some real gambling, try being a Farmer.

#9 Sad but true about farming

We gamble with our lives everytime we get in our cars and onto the freeways.
