CRISPINS CRITTERS

A murderer is to be executed by electric chair and the priest asks if he has any last request.

The man asks for the priest to hold his hand. Needless to say, the priest was shocked.

Unghh.

A guy was on trial for murder and if convicted, would get the electric chair. His brother found out that a redneck was on the jury and figured he would be the one to bribe. He told the redneck that he would be paid $10,000 if he could convince the rest of the jury to reduce the charge to manslaughter.

The jury was out an entire week and returned with a verdict of manslaughter.

After the trial, the brother went to the redneck's house, told him what a great job he had done and paid him the $10,000.

The red neck replied that it wasn't easy to convince the rest of the jury to change the charge to manslaughter. They all thought he was not guilty and, wanted to let him go.
 

RC my wife who never laughs, loved your joke!

My Friends,

I apologize for my reactionary comment about my Military Service and my anger towards the one who said it.
I will not go into detail, but the issue has been resolved and I accepted their apology.
It was NOT a "Critter."

Now that that issue is behind me.....

Just spoke with Dale, one of the Vet's that I mentor and he said that he is ready for that fishing trip! :headbang:

I told him to contact John, the other Vet that I mentor to see if he wants to come along.
I said that I'd buy lunch for us on the way.
He is going to call me tomorrow evening to finalize the details.
----------------

Upon returning to work after my vacation, I was ready for the load that awaited me.

And, what a load!
I ended up working 10 hours Monday, 9.5 hours yesterday and 9.25 hours today.

When I left for vacation, there were only 3 pages of PM's on the schedule.
After a week of 4 pages.
Prior to that, there were 5 pages. :BangHead:

When I got back, there were 4 pages again. :censored:

This morning, when I printed out the PM's, it was back down to 3 pages. :hello2:
SOMEBODY worked their ass off on Monday and Tuesday. :icon_scratch:

Won't be long until it's down to 2 pages......:coffee2:

Hope all are well and I'll end my post with a few more pics from the old New Orleans Mint.

Best,

Scott

Enjoy!

Perhaps you are interested in how I won $600 at the casino.....
Harrah's. At the end of Canal Street in the French Quarter.

I've been to other casinos that have "Texas Hold-Em'" poker,
but they have only offered the game through "video" play or "Play against the dealer." (The "House.")
But, here, I played against other players. NO house involved.
It was me against the world......
I purchase $1000 in chips.

Now, I will use "terms" that are familiar to some, and terms that I have created.....

I'm fresh at a table of "Texas Hold-em" No limit. Minimum $100 buy in. No limit on bets.....
I take my seat and size up the other players. As they are sizing me up.....

Now, Friends, I have A LOT of experience playing this game....online. For "Play Money."
Where you never see one's expressions or mannerisms.
This is a whole new experience for me.

OK.
Big Blind is $20 and small blind is $10.
I'm not on the button and two cards are dealt to me, face down.
I take a look at my "pocket."
I got "Dos Equis."
This is a term that I created to reflect my pocket.
The Roman numeral for 10 is an "X."
I have 2. Thus, "Dos Equis.
I take a sip of my coffee. and wait.....
I show NO emotion, but scan the table for signs......
I see one guy's pupils enlarge.....
He must have a pair, some "paint" or "Big Slick."
(Paint=the name for either a Jack, Queen or King. Big Slick= Ace-King.)
Everyone drops out but me and two others. Buddy included.
I call the "Big Blind" of $20.

Here comes the flop....
A jack, a king and another 10.
A "Rainbow" flop.
(Rainbow Flop= all different suits.)

Buddy cannot contain himself. If he was a dog, his tail would be wagging.
I quickly calculate the odds in my head and conclude that he is riding a straight.
I'm holding 3 of a kind.
His bet.
He bet $100.
Other guy folds.
Now it's just me and him...

Now here's where my psychology comes into play....
I took my time and "Slow-Played" him.
I acted like I wanted to fold, (and I actually thought I should, but, the odds of one more "paint" card showing up kept me in)
I eventually called.

The next card turned is called "The Turn," It was a 5.
No help to either of us.....
His bet.
He bet $100.
Now the odds have changed. I quickly calculate the odds of paint to help me versus his potential straight.
I raise $100.
Friends, I wish you could have seen his face when I raised.
He was so shocked, thinking he was a winner with a straight that he didn't counter-raise.

The pot is right, and here comes the final card. The "River."

AH! Another King!

Buddy's bet.
He bets $100.
He think's he's going to "Slow-Play" Me?
I raise $300.
He calls.
He show's his "Rainbow" straight and I show a pained face and said,
Damn! I guess my full House wins, don't it?

I reached out to rake in the chips and as I did, I looked at the dealer and said, "I'll cash out now."
THAT'S when Buddy got pissed....No chance to win back his losses.....

Perhaps my proclivity and success of Collegiate "Statistics" and odds study paid off.....:laughing7:

Of course, there was a bit of Psychology involved, too....

Y'all be good and play the hand dealt to you!

Best,

Scott

ADDED:
I purchased several souvenir Chips for my collection.

Soon, I will devise a question, in the way of a contest, to give one away....
Since RC seems to be in tune with me, I'll consult him with the details.
It appears that My questions are too easy.....
What do you say RC, my Friend?
Something like, "What was Moses's wife's name?"

I have many souvenirs.
I have also lost many souvenirs in my life....
Those are the ones that I remember and cherish the most.....

Tune up, John....
You play and I'll sing.....
Or vice-versa.....

Perhaps you should sing and I'll play.....


Don't cha just love the sound of nothing but a guitar and a voice?

Sometimes, souvenirs are found only in our memory.

Make as many souvenirs as you can, my Friends!

The new guy hired has shown his worth and gained my respect.
That is quite a feat.
I have interacted with Raymond and questioned him on things that I already know the answer....
He is right on point!

Friends, I may accept your inclusion, but, it takes more to gain my respect.

That is just my nature.....

Be Well, my Critter Friends!

Scott

Added:
I will wake early tomorrow to prepare sausage, egg and cheese on english muffins for "The Crew...."
I LOVE my job!

If I didn't,
Well, I'd buy a travel trailer and come visit you for a day or more.....:laughing7:
Don't believe me?
Try me....
I'll bring the Scotch and cigars....
You never had a better breakfast!
How's the fishing?
Everyone knows that I really don't have to work, but I do 'cause I hate boredom.....
And, I give all when I do work.
'Cause that is Scotty's way. Dig?

And now, I'm firing up a $30 cigar.
A Romeo D Juliet reserved...

Do you appreciate premium cigars?
And single grain scotch?

Perhaps we have something in common.....

I've lived my fragile life, on the edge....
and I've met fate.
Face to face.
There was a time that suicide was the answer.....

Perhaps you haven't had a Friend leave their brains on you.....

But, I will puff on my cigar and think of my Friends here,....
and not relive the memories of my past......
For the future is bright.....

Scott

Yeah,
I Portray an image of strength and power,
But, truth be known, I sometimes cry like a baby for my fellow Vets....
Pray for my Brothers and Sisters!
