concerning the Lord and slot machines...

So I've decided...
The Lord does not want me to double my paycheck in Las Vegas.

Eric won $60 on a quarter machine. $1, one spin, and he's $60 richer.
Josie won $26 off a penny slot.

I came out with:
Negative $20.
One vodka cranberry (whilst playing penny slots. much more juice than vodka, obviously)
One Vodka Tonic (whilst playing Nickel slots at the Wynn. not a bad amount of vodka in this one)
One dollar paid to me for one cigarette. I figure I made about 75 cents on this.

So, either God likes Josie and Eric better....or he was teaching me a valuable lesson about the perils of gambling. Or maybe the Lord had nothing to do with it and I just lost a few bucks to a rigged gaming machine. Or I'm not supposed to gamble and I need to start a cigarette peddling busniess. I think that's the answer...

I believe in the later of the two, however any lesson can be learned from the perils of vegas busting any and all ass. Note: dont take me with you i would only bring you down.....let's just say I am not God's gift to the lucky.

i'm pretty good at the roulette table but i have no luck with slots. my brother rocks slot machines. we went with him to an indian casino in san diego and he won over a hundred dollars twice on the same machine. he left to play dollar blackjack for awhile, won $60 at that. brought me and phil over to the machine he had won on twice, waited for an unlucky man to give up on it, put in another dollar and won $90 more. i dont know how he does it, maybe hes got some sorta deal worked out with the Pala Indian tribe, i doubt its cause God likes him, he certainly doesnt care about God.

Do you remember when I said...

I don't think you'll find anything in the cigarette business either... Just the typical cancers and such.
