Are you listening? This is a great call. No BS, just straight answers to every question. I guess when you've got nothing to hide, you answer everything.

Until this morning, I had two gambling experiences. The first was when I was an undergraduate. My boyfriend's eating club at Princeton had a casino night. Not knowing what we were doing, we decided to be "big" spenders and only take $10 with us. Yes! $10. Boy did that get laughs. Well, the roulette looked interesting and not that difficult so I just played a little bit at a time on black or red. I was doing alright. Near the end of the evening we had almost $25. We had expected to lose our initial 'bank roll' so decided to go for broke. Back to the roulette table (Fred had been playing dice). He gave me his chips and I put all we had on number 17. BINGO!!! Yes, yes yes!! 17 it was. We were jumping up and down like 6-year-olds. We took the money and ran (literally)! Feeling rather smug about my prowess at games of chance, my next experience was at the .10 slot machines on a cruise ship when I was 22. Do you know how much money one can lose putting dimes in a machine? That did it. I decided I better just go to grad school and put aside any thoughts of becoming a professional gambler. Then today came and I was feeling "hot" about that CSCO split. Having already mastered roulette, I moved over to the dice table. BINGO again! These dice have been safely packed away. A few earnings from now I shall bring them out of their box again and let them roll. Other than throwing dice when CSCO is due for a split announcement, my gambling days are behind me. Lynn
