Unfortunately my Hubby (in six states) has prohibited me from donning my pearls when we dine at the Casino buffet.* The last time I was at the casino Sportin' the Strand (as we like to say in the business) I had lost nearly $8.00 and I couldn't help myself - the ignominy, the degradation, the disgrace, the dishonor - all those things! I stumbled forward, blindly, not knowing what I was doing. If it hadn't been for the cool, reassuring touch of the Gems of the Ocean - as it were - I most certainly would have withered away right there. Lucky I bumped into the High Stakes card table where I was able to thrust myneself upon it and get my wits back about me. Unluckily it was a High Stakes table and there was some High Stakes gaming going on and cards and chips went a-fluttering everywhere. As you can imagine, my emotions immediately went from near-swooning chagrin to indignation when it was obvious the people at the table cared more about their stupid card game than my mental health!! Instead of being whisked off to the nurse's office, I was whisked out the front door!! Bastards!! I did what any good American would do - threatened to sue them, but they obviously knew that the law is always on the side of the people with the money. Instead of taking me seriously, the "gentlemen"** told me to go ahead and try! See how they are. I even tried standing there shaking my fist at the front door, but it did no good. I'm sorry if this is upsetting to my reader who, like me, has a more gentle constitution, but this just gets my blood boiling. Excuse me while I go cool off.
Stupid casinos.
*Or BOO-fay as some like to say. Or BOO-fae. or BOO-feigh. Take your pick.
