Talk Is Cheap

Three Ameristar dealers and three Argosy dealers are traveling by train to Vegas.

At the station, the three Argosy dealers each buy tickets and watch as the three Ameristar dealers buy only a single ticket.”

How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asks an Argosy dealer.

“Watch and you’ll see,” answers an Ameristar dealer.

They all board the train.

The Argosy dealers take their respective seats but all three Ameristar dealers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets.

He knocks on the restroom door and says, “Ticket, please.”

The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.

The conductor takes it and moves on. The Argosy dealers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.

So after the trip, the Argosy dealers decide to copy the Ameristar dealers on the return trip and save some money.

When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.To their astonishment, the Ameristar dealers don’t buy a ticket at all.

“How are you going to travel without a ticket?” says one perplexed Argosy dealer.

“Watch and you’ll see,” answers an Ameristar dealer.

When they board the train the three Argosy dealers cram into a restroom and the three Ameristar dealers cram into another one nearby.

The train departs.Shortly afterward, one of the Ameristar dealers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Argosy dealers are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket, please.”

The other day Noke was dealing, she was on stick.  A player threw in a few red cheques and the one I had left over was a new one.. but it felt really light.  So much so that I kept hefting it in my hand, comparing it to another.  I tossed it in front of the box and mentioned how light it felt and Noke says “That’s because it doesn’t have enough dirt on it.”

Our cheques are a lot cleaner than the other boats on the whole.. but she’s got a point!

Nobody likes a smartass…

Nuh numma numma!!

This is some Belgium TV skit comedian named Firmin Crets (his character is always an ex-boxer) with a couple of famous European pop singers Nicole & Hugo on some Euro morning  comedy TV show, doing the pop hit from 1968, Mah Nà Mah Nà.  Yes folks, you are really about to click this video.. this is what it’s come to here.

This is the best “mahnah mahnah” bit since the Jim Henson did it on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1969 and again on the first The Muppets Show episode in 1977.

The song was written by Italian composer Piero Umiliani for an Italian documentary about life in Sweden titled…. oh skip it.. that’s way more information than you really care about isn’t it?

MAHNAH MAHNAH!!

The first recall was bad enough: A million-plus “Thomas & Friends” toys pulled because of lead paint. The second was surreal: The maker of the smiley-faced trains sent customers “bonus gifts” so they’d stay loyal — and now some of those toys have been recalled, too.  The company, RC2 Corp. is offering a replacement Toad and another gift to anyone responding to the latest recall.  I imagine there’s a betting line on the Toad getting recalled too, whaddyathink?

Don’t forget.. today, September 19th, is Talk Like A Pirate Day!
