It’s been a white Christmas across much of the northeast United States and other parts of the country, but it’s always sizzling hot in the casinos. As your resident blackjack dealer out of Sin City, I can assure you that nothing beats a session at a stellar Vegas venue. Join me in today’s rollicking post as we zoom ahead into the New Year.
Just the other day I was chatting to a buddy in New York, Jennifer Ellisby, and she informed me that treacherous weather has grounded air and land transportation services. Amtrak, flights and cars have all but stopped ferrying passengers across the North Eastern USA. Luckily the kids are on school vacation and it’s the most beautiful time of year. This is when I feel particularly blessed to be in Vegas. This city truly never sleeps and is rarely (compared to other parts of the US) burdened by horrendous weather. Playing blackjack, Texas Hold’em, European Roulette or Video Poker is always a few steps away and always readily accessible at hundreds of venues in Vegas. The other day a couple of golfers were sitting at my table – boy oh boy – you should have heard their caddie quips. Let’s see if I can mesh this all with gambling humor :)
The best T-off chirps the birdies will ever make
Ever hear about the golfer who told his caddy to stop checking his watch? The caddy replied, ‘It’s not a watch sir, it’s a compass!’ I tell you when I heard that joke, I knew I was in for a wild time with this group from Silver Spring, Maryland. So this golfer is having a torrid time and says to his caddy, “This has got to be the absolute worst golf course I’ve ever played at!” The caddy responds, “With all due respect sir, this isn’t a golf course. We left that two hours ago…” This portly man with a terrible swing says to his caddy, “Ernest, I’ve never ever played this badly before!” The caddy dips his head and responds, “Sir, I didn’t realize that you’d played before.” By now the whole group of golfers at my blackjack table is going ballistic. Half of them are doubled over in stitches and the others are gulping down their JW whiskies and raising the stakes.
It’s good time for all. I’m so intrigued by these jokes that I egg the lead protagonist on. “So let’s turn our attention to Tiger Woods. You remember when Tiger crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree?” We’re all like, “Yea! We remember that.” He’s like, “He couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.” Or how about this one, “What's the difference between a golf ball and a car? - Tiger can drive a golf ball over 400 yards!” Then there was the joke of the evening – when the golfer asked the caddy if he thought he could get the ball to the hole with a 5-iron. The caddy responded, “Sir, eventually yes.” That’s a wrap for this week’s humor article here on 777.com. We’re always tracking all the fun-filled stories, quips, jokes and comments that come through the doors of our Las Vegas casinos.
