Funny anecdote

I recently traveled to Shreveport for the Rivercities Triahtlon. It was a good race, nothing spectacular to really talk concerning the race. Rather I shall relate a story about going to a casino the night before.

So a group of 7 of us go to the Horseshoe (I believe that is the one) and two guys want to get in on some texas hold-em. I think that this is one of the stupidest gambling games ever and the only reason anyone thinks they know what they are doing is due to a high amount of cable t.v. being given to this type of show. Also, the fact that you don't have to really bet on two hands and the rest you can just sit and watch, well that might be part of it.

Anyways, I played a blackjack for a bit, learned about the j.t.c.s. That stands for the J.T. Comback Strategy. Basically if you are down 100 bucks, you bet 100 bucks on the next hand in hopes of breaking even on one hand. The 2 times I saw the j.t.c.s implemented they both encountered dealer blackjacks. So, I believe the j.t.c.s actually isn't designed to make you any money, but guarentees the dealer gets a blackjack.

Ok, so the real story. We are all standing around waiting for the two guys to loss there money in the poker room, and some random chick (I know some find this derogatory but trust me calling this woman a chick is being nice) comes up to our group. She sort of breaks the little circle we had going and asks, "Can I have 100 bucks?" Before she even finishes this sentence I'm respond with a curt, "no thanks.." and just kept talking with the guys. She looked a little ticked but was quite determined to get money.. "How about 50 bucks?" This time I was a little more rude and sort of made a shoo-ing gesture and said, "No!" a tad bit harsher. I continued talking to the guys attempting to ignore the rude chick. She sort of mumbles something, and as she walks away says, "I wish I was a dumb bitch.." I can only assume she meant dumb bitches get money from random guys, I didn't really take time to think about all the social consequences of this statement. But she had provided me with an opening, I said quite loudly, "well you sort of are one." At this point she was behind me and I was told gave me quite the look.

I know, not that funny but I don't have much to work with at the moment and I felt like posting. It was quite entertaining, usually if someone is asking for money they offer something in return. But not this girl, she just expected random people to give her large sums of money for, being rude? I'm just not sure. And we were all in pretty ratty clothes so it didn't appear that we were rich or anything. I just don't know. Wierd if you ask me.

Ok, I'm out.
