play the credit card game..

of course i didn't win the derby, but imagine if i had hit the trifecta and could have done the ol' i told you to listen to me. mom and dad came down this weekend and of course, mom hit the longshot derby winner. We awarded her immediately by handing her the check from a great argentinian steak house, pampa. Mom was excited about taking on the bill! it is mandatory that if you win bucks in any type of gambling event and you are at a meal or heading that you take the check, no matter how many people. The rule is if the amount covers the meal you pay. I remember the outrage caused by a colleg buddy when he won 100 bucks at a diner on quickdraw and didn't pick up the check. My buds were outraged and still using it at talking point till this day. These are things you don't forget. If you want to play another great game my friends and I often play it's called the credit card game. everyone has their version, but this one plays out the best. next time when you are at dinner with friends and the bill comes don't do the awkward everybody looks at it until the guy with the calculator on the cell phone picks it up. play the credit card game. Everyone put in their credit card in a hat. couples have to put 2 cards in. don't look at the bill. roll the dice... go to nobu for crying out loud. ask the waitress to get involved and here is the key. pick the cards out one by one. when the waitress picks out a card you hand it back to it's owner. they are safe. do this until you get to the last card and then watch the 2 people sweat. i suggest doing this with very large bills where drinks and wine flow like niagra. the last card is the loser and they pay the bill! humiliation. If you play enough..everyone wins and everyone loses. I lost in beantown real bad and it wasn't even a good meal it was apps and shots for $350. My other friend is still financing a $500 sports bar wings and beer outing. 3 more payments and that meal i had is owned.. Try it sometime if you like to live on the edge.. it is perfect for our texas holdem society we live in...
