OMG!!!!
That racetrack announcer was so FUNNY!
You know (not said in Limerick form, I’m sorry!), years ago I was in Las Vegas, and I decided to attend the closed-circuit “Running of the Roses” at one of the casinos, and bet on the possible outcome.
The horse I bet on, came in DEAD LAST!
No, I take that back, the DEAD HORSE came in BEFORE the horse on which I wagered…
Someone had told me, “You shoulldn’t bet on THAT horse!”
When I asked why not, the guy said, “Look carefully at the Jockey. He’s carrying a book and flashlight with him! Also, I believe his LUNCH is in that paper sack!”
I bet $20 on that horse, and lost my butt.
When I did some research on the history of that particular horse and jockey, one reviewer wrote, “They don’t use a stopwatch to ‘time’ him; they use a calendar.”
It reminds me of the time that I was playing Roulette in Las Vegas, and I was standing right next to this big MAFIA dude, who was playing the same wheel as I.
The croupier started the ball rolling, and it skipped out of the inner wheel assembly and onto the floor, where it rolled under the cashier cage.
They paid off to the MAFIA dude, because he had bet on THE FLOOR.
I didn’t even know that you could DO that!
