Feel free to browse the collection of tall tales, yarns and downright lies. They are all family safe - the test I apply is "would I tell this to someone's grandmother?" If no, I don't use it. (That doesn't mean i don't appreciate a dirty joke, but I don't think they're appropriate for broadcast on the radio - you never know who is listening or how old they are or what their attitudes to dirty jokes amounts to. )
When I was on my honeymoon in the Crown Casino, we had been doing very badly at the casino tables. The I told the bride, "I have a hunch that I can turn our luck around if I go down to the casino alone."
Once in the casino, I put a dollar into each of two slot machines. I hit the jackpot on both of them and walked away with $10,000. I then played blackjack for a couple of hours until I had $50,000 in chips. Next, I played poker and upped his winnings to $100,000.
I was about to cash in my chips when I got a hunch that my luck hadn't run out. So I took all my money and placed it on Black at the roulette table, hoping to double my money. The ball landed on Double Zero.
I returned to my room. The bride asked, "How did you do?"
I shrugged and said, "I lost two dollars."
