Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Recently I decided to try my luck at a casino. Since I’m a gambler who thinks big, I spent a whole $7 on the quarter and penny slot machines. First, I won $1.25 on a 25-cent machine. Then I hit the 1-cent slots. I bet a dollar and walked away with $3.09!

With my two vouchers in hand, I sauntered over to the cashier to claim my vast winnings: $4.34. The cashier slowly counted the money and in a serious voice said, “Would you like me to have security walk you out?” I quipped, “Only if you add some zeroes.” She smiled, “Not likely.”

For having the willpower to lose only $2.66 and still walk away, I should have at least been comped a walk with a security guard.
