Getting Rich!

The only way to keep from losing your money in Las Vegas is to get off the plane and stick your head into one of the jet engines.

It seems like everyone who goes to Vegas has a system with which to come home with riches. It's sort of like playing the lotto. Most people have a system of picking the numbers. Some use birthdays, others use numbers that are important to them, like a phone number.

The first thing that the winners are asked is, are you going to quit your job? If I won the lotto and had a job, when I was asked that question, I would just say, "Oh, no. I enjoy being told what to do everyday and the pressure that I feel each day to do a better job". Of course I would quit my job.

I think if I won a ton of money, I would not just quit, but if my boss was a jerk, I wouldn't even tell him why. I'd just argue with him until he was just about to fire me, then quit while telling him why. I don't think I would work at all, just let the money pay me some interest to live and only buy or give to charitable organizations that would give me the tax deductions I would need.

I wouldn't want to hear the pitches from the charities, so I would need someone who was firm enough to to diplomatically tell them to take a hike. I would also worry about family members. Not immediate family, but the ones you haven't heard from forever. They would now want to be your best buddy.

I think I would make those guys weed my flower beds, paint the house, even though it wouldn't need it. Make 'em sweat, with no guarantee of the riches they are trying to scam. Then, I would pay cash to build a cabin up in the mountains in Colorado for two reasons. One, I wouldn't have neighbors to bug me, but also to find out if John Denver was right. You can't just take his word for it.

I would have servants, so would always someone to talk to, cook and clean for me, etc. I would write more books. If no major publisher didn't want to pick them up, I would start my own. Why not? I could live In the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains, have servants, a guaranteed income and become a best selling author.
That would be cool. Ok, next time, I'm playing.

See you tomorrow.

It's always fun until someone loses their integrity.
