I thought it might be mildly interesting/amusing. |

Re: Today\'s Blondie Comic (fairly OT)
When you come home late from playing poker and your spouse asks how you did, the only right answer is "I won a couple of bucks".
Why? If you admit that you won a bunch of money, your spouse will spend it, and if you admit you lost a bunch of money, your spouse will be angry - and then go spend it. Actual conversation from my happy home: Me "How the hell can you spend $150 on a haircut???" Her "If we can afford to waste all that money on poker, I figure we can afford for me to get my hair done someplace nice." How to get your spouse to stop getting $150 haircuts. (after the second $150 haircut) Me: "Oh jeez, what happened? I thought you were getting your hair done at the good place now?" Her: "I did. Why, what's the matter? Don't you like it?" Me: "Um, er, no that's not it. It's actually pretty nice if you look at it from this angle. And besides, I'm sure it will look great once it grows in a little...." |

Re: Today\'s Blondie Comic (fairly OT)
I think the last six times I have played poker with the boys I have come home a net winner. This timespan covers at least the past ten months.
Yet each time we have an outing/event, she can't get over the fact that I need to take out $200 from the bank account to fund the game. Even reminding her that I usually come home with more than $200, she can't get past the fact that I have to withdraw the money first. I mean, I don't get it. When she takes out money for the haircut, she can't redeposit her locks back in right? There is no arguing, even if you win 60% of the time, you are a loser in her eyes. I suppose because of the "chances" you are taking with the bread money.... |

Re: Today\'s Blondie Comic
A variation of the old joke that Buddy Hackett (and probably others) used to tell:
"How'd you do at the slots, honey?" "I lost $100." "$100! On slots?!" "So? You lost $1500 on craps..." "Yeah, but I know how to gamble!" |

First night I ever played B&M NLHE: $500 win.
Second night: $200 loss. Net for the weekend: $300 ahead. Do you think she was happy, or upset? |

Let me guess:
"you should've quit while you're ahead!" |

HER: How did you do?
ME: (stupidly honest) I gave back $200 of it. HER: (stews silently, except for many loud, hissing sighs) ME: You're mad?? I made $300 this weekend (a huge score for a low-limit player like me). HER: But you HAD $500!!! ME: If I lost $200 the first night, and won $500 the second, that would be OK, right? HER: (nods) ME: WELL, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE??? HER: (bursts into tears) |
