Re : spent 5 months in Vegas without coming home

One time when I was in Las Vegas, I walked into a 7-11 store, and saw that it had a total of two video poker machines (and, they were nickel machines -- my favorite !)

I walked over to the machines, and was surprised that the guy behind the counter of the store came back to watch me play (there was no one else in the store).

On my first "play," my nickel returned three nickels (i.e. ten cents gain).

I was thrilled, put the three nickels in my pocket, and started walking out of the store.

The 7-11 employee said something like "That's it ?"

"That's all," I replied.

Got any good stories ?

Jon.
