Only once have I gone to a casino with a lady friend.

I made a $250 bet on red. I was talking to my friend when the dealer paid out on my bet. My friend looked at me funny. I said 'What?". She said 'You bet red, it came up black, and she paid you.' By that time I already had the chips in my stack and the next spin was in progress. A little late to 'fess up, even if I was so inclined.

Twenty minutes later I was explaining a point to my friend when I should have been betting. I was doubling up, the next bet would have been $250, but my friend had distracted me and I failed to bet. My color came up, but I hadn't bet. To my way of thinking, I lost $250.

It all evens out.

Reminds of a qoute:
Cigars and women are mutually exclusive.
Trying to enjoy both at the same time precludes any possibility of obtaining maximum pleasure from either.
