One evening I’m sitting at my blackjack table dealing out of a new shoe. This out-of-towner is on a losing streak and says to me: “What’s the only way to keep your money from the casinos in Las Vegas?” I look at him questioningly. “When you get off the plane, walk directly into the propellers,” he retorts.Las Vegas is the nerve center of the gambling world. Despite the recent downturn in global economic fortunes since 2008, prospects are beginning to look up for the city and indeed the State of Nevada. I’ve been a blackjack dealer for a number of years and the joy that I experience each and every day in Vegas is beyond terrific. It’s sublime. There is so much to see, so much to learn and so much potential for anything you set your mind to. You want the Eiffel Tower, you got it. You want lava and volcanoes, you got it, you want grandiose beyond compare – it’s right here in Vegas. This city never sleeps, never rests and always runs of 100% pure adrenaline. If you’re looking for a laugh – this is where you’re going to find it. Let’s get started.
The horse and gambler joke – not for the faint of heart :)
I got to warn you folks, this one borders on vulgar but it’s Vegas and I’ve toned it down as best I can. So one day this guy walks into a bar in Vegas. There’s a millionaire with a horse sitting in the center of the room. A crowd of excitable fellas has formed a circle around the horse and everyone is trying to get the tycoon’s attention. The lone guy pushes through the crowd and asks the filthy rich old man what the deal is. “Well sonny, if you can get my horse to laugh, I’ll give you $100,000.” The guy scratches his chin for a beat and walks into the center of the ring and whispers something into the horse’s ear. The horse cracks up laughing. The man walks away with the cash.
Seven years later the same guy walks into the same bar. This time he’s already a wealthy man. He played smart and transformed his hundred grand into millions. He notices a crowd gathered around a horse in the center of the bar. He’s stunned to find the same horse and the same tycoon. “What are you up to this time?” asks the guy. “If you can make my horse cry, I’ll give you $2 million dollars,” he replies. “No problem,” chirps the guy. He struts into the center of the ring and takes the horse aside. Seconds later the horse is balling his eyes out. “Take the money! But how on earth did you make Old Henry cry so badly?” he asks with piqued curiosity. “Well sir. It’s simple. Seven years ago I told the horse that my crown jewels were larger than his. He laughed his head off back then. This time around I showed him!”
