Naked Paul Toast’s Insights

Oops

My brother-in-law, let’s call him BIL, has an iPhone 3G as well. He loves it.

A couple weeks ago, he, his wife and kids were coming home from a week-end away. They stopped off at a public conservation area for a break and something to eat.

BIL had let one of his daughters use his new iPhone. Some time had gone by, his daughter was nowhere to be found, BIL started to wonder where she was at.

He was then approached by his wife and daughter, they both had rather sullen looks.

“Something’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Uhhhhh.”
“What’s wrong?”
[silence]
“WHAT”S WRONG?!”

“Well, when I was going to the outhouse, your iPhone fell out of my pocket.”
“Where is it?”
“It, kinda fell into the hole”
“WHAT!”
[more silence - but a much different kind of silence]

Started my monthly poker game Friday. We don’t play over the summer. I’ve said this before, none of this group play serious poker, it’s a social thing. The host provides the place, the booze and the food. The stakes are quarters. The variance ranges from losing $30.00 to winning $30.00, though occasionally some manage to find themselves outside of these ranges. The record winning night was set by me a couple years ago, up $72.00.

Traditionally, we all count our change at the beginning, count it at the end, and then compare win/loss. Though we always have a pretty good idea idea who is up and who is down. After five hours, I finished up $0.25. That’s a whopping win rate of 5 cents an hour.

Spent Saturday golfing with my brother-in-law, while Mrs. NakedPaulToast and her sister-in-law went to Canada’s Wonderland. I won two skins. That’s a whopping win rate of 40 cents an hour.

We then all met up for a barbecue and beer .

Perhaps if my parents had focused more on my Arithetic as a youth, I wouldn’t be such a degenerate gambler.

I only expect programmers to “get” this one. It’s one of the cleverest vanity plates, I’ve seen.
