This discussion reminds me of one of my favorite Hard Rock stories.

After a night of drinking and playing blackjack, my entire table was on a winning streak. And when it came time for security to bring more chips to the table (a $10 table if I recall), it was noticably short of $100s. Intending to say something along the lines of "bring some big money for us to keep winning" I drunkenly shouted out the phrase "All right, time to bring out the blacks!!!"

It took me about 30 seconds to realize that everyone at the table was nerviosuly looking first at me, and then at the two very muscular African American security guards replenishing the rack, and then back at me.

The Hard Rock staff, as always, were total pros, and regardless of what the gentlmen in security may have thought I meant by my comment they never batted an eyebrow. My fellow players, however, seemed convinced I was about to get a butt-whooping.
