Whoo Hoo!

For the first time in my life I hit a Royal Flush on those god damned video poker machines. My parents and I went to dinner at the Cortez Room in the Gold Coast. I had no intention of gambling but my dad did. So after dinner he put in $20 and lost, went and got some more money, put in $20 and it was taking forever so I asked to borrow $20. I lost it in a matter of seconds. After a minute I asked for $20 more. He had owed me money because I had payed for dinner, so anyways I get down to about $4.00 left in the machine when I hold a Jack and Ten of Spades. Hit the deal button and I swear to god that it took about 2 minutes for the King to turn over, then the Queen, then the Ace...it was like it was in slow motion. I know your supposed to act like it happens all the time, like when you hit a home run in baseball, but the first time is the first time is the first time. And the first time is special so the first thing I could get myself to do was grab my dad and put him in a head lock. So ya, I hit my first royal tonight and it took a good 30minutes to collect my lavish winnings. All $1253.75 of it.
