Las Vegas Churches





.

THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN LAS VEGAS , BUT
THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.

NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS
RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED.

SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED
A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS.

THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY
FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED
IN.

THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS.... :-)

With the global warming selling well to idiots here, why not use your money to buy dollars as they become cheaper and that way you'll be rich when it recovers?

Same scam as carbon credits ain't it?

Ted, > She's not that stupid.

Bloomberg reported that she's willing to be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.

Well if not the peso, how about the Brazilian real? After all, she is Brazilian.

But I do feel her pain. I'm going back to Europe next year for a ski trip. Maybe I should buy my euros now? I kept my leftover euros from my last trip, but that's just pocket change.


I think gold might be a better bet.
