You’re going to ridicule yourself, Roger, for selecting “expert.”

I’m starting to remember this one. No good will come of this.

I go with a friend to the casinos and watch all the people playing slots. I do the nickel ones myself but it is so boring. If you were to pay people $10/hour to push a button every 30 seconds most would within a week. But there they pay to do it.

I guess Jason didn’t get on the computer like his mother told him to…

Is there any here that hasn’t figured the outcome of this story line yet?

I learned that as a teen when I worked my first job at a lumber yard. Gambling was illegal in my state, but where I lived was near a tri-state area where it was only a short trip to one state that had horse racing or another that had dog racing. Most of the men I worked with made minimum wage or a little more. Many of them had large families to support. And yet, every Friday (when I got paid) the majority of my coworkers cashed their paychecks and headed north to bet on the “ponies” or east to bet on the “puppies”, always with ideas of winning big.Usually, they lost. Occasionally, they won a little. And every Monday when I started work I would hear them complain that their bills could not be paid, their utilities were on the verge of being cut off, and how they could not afford to buy milk for their children.

I guess Jason didn’t get to the computer soon enough

Quick! Somebody pull the master circuit breaker for the house, lose power!

Humanity is doomed!

Why is there no novice setting?
