SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES; YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I WAS NEVER VERY GOOD AT IT ; BUT I HAVE DONE IT OVER THE YEARS JUST THE SAME.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT I CAN.

In the pre Katrina days, I was playing blackjack at one of the many casinos on the gulf in Biloxi. While I was playing black jack, Geri was wondering the casino watching others play the various casino games.
At one point, I looked up and saw Geri limping very badly, with her shoe in her hand. I ask the dealer to put a hold on my table spot while I went to find out how Geri had hurt herself.
When I caught up to Geri, she was in the hall limping toward the ladies room. When I ask how she hurt herself she replied "I'm not hurt".
I said "Why are you limping"? She replied "I saw a $100 chip on the floor and I didn't want anyone to see me pick it up so I have it between my toes".
Do you ever wonder where your chips have been?
