Advice For Mr. Sklansky

[Zeno]

I would think you could put your time to better use than spending it playing video poker at the Bellagio, (even if, I would guess, it was during a break from a game).

For example, bring a good book to the poker room to read, work on more posts to expose the frauds that infest this forum, start composing your memoirs, put more effort into promoting your religion, or work on relaxing that ever overwrought and hyperactive mind that bounces about in your cranial cavity. Some Epicurus or Lucretius or Seneca or even some Marcus Aurelius could be of some use for calming this agitation, thus killing two birds with one stone during your interludes away from the table. In addition it may improve your poker game.

By the way, your middle age paunch is quite fashionable, as is the red ‘dog poker’ shirt. I will be generous and not mention the degenerate and rather indefinable hairline.
