Default Re: Looking on the bright side

I walked by a slot machine at the instant some old lady hit a big jackpot. Now I hadn't played the machine before, and I was kind of just in the area when she hit, but still, it was like a $10,000 payoff. Do you think the cheap greedy old lady would give me any money out of her jackpot when they came and paid her off? Nooooooooo! I even had some of my friends join in and try to coax some of her winnings from her. Slot machine players are even more cheap and greedy than poker players. She gave the change girl a couple of hundred dollars tip, but despite all my pleading, wouldn't even give me a single dollar!

I just look on the bright side and realize I am not cheap and greedy like that old lady.
