I went to the Las Vegas Club Cage a few years back with the hope of buying five one-dollar chips. And the lady in the Cage gasped as though I was robbing the joint. She said she could only sell me ONE $1 chip, so I said okay. And then the topper: "Don't ever tell anyone where you got it!"

I swore not to, and for years have honored her request, but now that she, and the Club, are no more, the secret is out. I BOUGHT A CHIP AT THE LAS VEGAS CLUB CAGE!!!

Now I'll have to look over my shoulder every day for the rest of my life.
