Lessons for the road player

[deanoc]

It was maybe 30 years ago,but it seems like yesterday. I was traveling here and there when Verl Horn called with an opportunity for fast cash ,good conersation, exciting escapades

we had had a good time until i left him imn moreland Oklahoma. I decided tp stop in oklahoma City on the way home,afterall I had a bankrolli could flash and bust Fat randy if he got out of line

Well Randy wasn't to be found,home in Tulsa and i got in something that looked esasy and one thing led to another until I insisted we raise the bet,i wasn't too worried when I lost the first few i wold just adjust until i won everything in Oklahoma

When I cam home broke my wife says"wheres the money?"
I lost says I

Sam *said Verl and you made a big score( Verl's wife Sam)

I know but I made a sop in Oklahoma
And you lost everything ,the whole $20,000 and change

Yep

How
Well i played the Bushwacker

and you thought he got that name in Sunday school

No dear, i didn't learn that till later

And it didnt occur to you to ask

Aw hun,I can't ask every stranger I meet,"are you the bushwacker?

Why didn't you quit when you lost a ittle?
That's the question,but i thought I would adjust and jack the bet like I always do

Apparently not always

and so went my instructions

It doesn't pay to lose

Aw hun, I can't ask every stranger I meet, "Are you the bushwacker?"

I am still laughing at this!!!!

(Hope you don't that I edited it some with punctuation.)

the Bushwacker is probably still telling the story!

The Bushwacker is probably still telling the story of manna falling from heaven!:thumbup: We have all been in those games that were too good to quit, until we didn't have a choice!
