11:30 p.m. My mom and I were waiting for valet to bring our car . While waiting a taxi was dropping off 2 young ladies and the taxi bill was only $6.50. They paid and headed in. They were laughing, dressed nice and obviously having a good time.
My mom and I got home. Decided to go back to the casino. We put some more money in our wallets and headed back. Strange huh?
While I was playing Keno one of the young ladies was sitting next to me. We started talking. Everyone that sits next to each other at Keno eventually starts talking. It's a game you sit at for a long time. She started complaining and hitting the machine. "OH COME ON!" she would say after pushing the button. I said to her "These machines aren't paying tonight!" She said "Yeah, I have to win at least 20 dollars." I told her "I have to win at least $1,000." (a little Keno joke.) I laughed. She said "No, I'm serious...If I don't win $20.00 I don't know how I'm getting home." I said "Well, come on and win then!"
Time went by we were still playing. Her friend came over to her and asked if she made money to get home yet.
Her girlfriends cell phone rang and this is what I found out.
They don't own a car. To get to the casino from where they live via taxi would be $37.00. Since that would cut into their casino money she pretended to be sick. She called an ambulance from home, the ambulance took them to Receiving Hospital. Once they were there and the ambulance drivers left they hurried out of the hospital, jumped into a cab and for only $6.50 got a ride to the casino. All thanks to Medicaid.
Now, who has a gambling problem?

Wow! I wonder if that would work for a free helicopter ride to the U of M burn unit!
The funny stuff that happens to me happens by accident. Maybe I should be more deliberate?
If she's not really sick, she's still sick.
