Casino Fun

The part of the story DH and I agree on:
My husband runs a bus company that takes regular runs up to the casino here. It is $15 to go and they give you a free buffet and $10 in slot play plus your bus ride! Not a bad gig. Since the weather man predicted rain today we decided to see what it was about. About halfway there I realized I forgot my ID and we almost got off the bus but decided to trek on anyway figuring the worst that could happen was we'd spend the day shopping at the mall....

My version of the story:
So I had the casino's $10 in slot play and our friend Ed SWORE he knew a machine that paid out. We were hanging around in that area and the machine came open, as well as one two seats down from it. I politiely asked him if he'd like to take the winning machine and he didn't even respond so I said "I call the one on the end" and DH settled into the other machine. About 7 pulls of the handle later (just when I was quitting) I hit the jackpot. On the penny machines I won a jackpot. Just UNDER the ammount I could claim without my ID.

DH's version of the story: (and everyone else including the security lady and the video tape)
So there we were at the casino and my lovely wife and myself were waiting for a penny machine to open. The one that MY friend Ed predicted as the winner came available. I went to make a move for it when my bossy wife ran ahead of me and pushed me out of the way. Just a couple pulls later she won over a jackpot and she only offered to buy me 2 tires. That money could have all been mine and I could have had all the tires I needed for my jeep.

Either way we both agree it was a successful day at the slots. DH will get a couple of the tires he's been saving up for ($200 a piece give me a break!) and I will be able to get a pedicure and put more money into the savings account. We had a great day and came out WAY ahead of the house. :-)
