While making my morning cup of java I was speaking with our secretary, Lora. Lora is normally very quite and the only time she gets up from her desk is for an occasional ciggy break.
Well today when I saw her she got silly and told me I was just the person she was looking for because she had a story for me. The smile stretched across my face as I poured the creamer into my coffee.
She started with the basics... that yesterday she and her husband took the day off and had gone to the casino for the holidays as her gift to him. Nothing kooky yet? She went on to say that she usually holds his money and distributes it in twenty dollar bills so that he doesn't blow through it.
After they arrived on the main floor of Fox woods she gave him his first twenty and told him that she would be playing Wheel of Fortune so when he needed more money that's where he could find her. He thanked her and disappeared into the crowd of gamblers. Lora wandered over to the slot machines only to find that her favorite machines, Wheel of Fortune, were already being used. Damn it. She then walked all the way to the opposite side of the casino and began to play.
Thirty minutes later she thought it was odd that her husband had not come to her for more money but assumed he must be winning where ever he was? Ten minutes later he appeared beat red and sweating.
He began his story with "Please God tell me I just asked you for twenty dollars" he asked her looking petrified. Shocked and concerned she told him no and wanted to know what was going on. Visibly shaken he sat down next to her and explained how he had burned all his money on one slot machine and then had wandered around trying to find her for more money. He finally found her at the Wheel of Fortune slot and walked up behind her and began rubbing her back. She said nothing. After a couple more minutes of back rubbing he asked her for twenty bucks and she faintly said "NO". Confused and thinking she was grumpy about losing he began massaging her shoulders and giving her pep talks. Again asked her for money but this time when she said No her voice was different. It sounded nervous... He leaned forward to find that THIS WAS NOT HIS WIFE and the woman he was touching was a complete stranger!!! He bolted across the casino before she had time to get the police!! What a filthy pig... wish I was at the casino yesterday!!! LOL
