New Year's P.S.

How could I have forgotten Funniest Gambling Moment?? Well, thanks to Marty who reminded me, here it is:

There's a new table version of Texas Hold 'Em where you play against the dealer instead of each other. For those of you who haven't caught a regular Poker Tournament on TV--by the way, where the hell ya been?--you make your hand by using the 5 best cards of the two you're dealt plus the 5 "communal" cards lying face up on the board.

So, there's Ann, in her inimitable way, as the dealer swipes Ann's money off the table: "Excuuuuuse me. EXCUUUUUUSE ME. I have three pairs here. Pay me!"

Right, Ann. And that two-card straight you had was a real winner, too.
