athletic activities

Softball team is missing their "ticket seller" and was suppose to play golf this weekend....

ticket seller????? glad to hear you got a part time job......

as in people were PAYING to see my skills at SS.....A MACHINE....they had to sabotage my calf just to contain me

I bet you move like a machine....very stiff and uncordinated...

Far from uncoordinated, that is the worst thing you can call an athlete...Played baseball for more then half my life (14 years)

you find a nice "relaxation therepist"...look for girls who are too nice to be with you thats a Tell.....but i hear that stds abound in the un regulated ...the gift that keeps on giving...

how come you suck at golf???:D :D

All three in the 'box of three' get used in that situation

How many people in this world are good at that game. I AM 1000% self taught and golf channel taught, once I get lessons I will light your ass up...I already have a short game and can putt, just can't hit it long yet.....

Scavs,

Race 8 Belmont at Pinnacle. Bet Perrycarditis +125 to beat Santa's Gold. Good spot.

all over it

Dude...I could give you lessons and you would be so damn good.

Have fun, Tom. Weather should be nice. If you're a freakin armadillo. Last time I was in Vegas, I went at the last minute. Stayed at the Boardwalk Holiday Inn, next to Monte Carlo. Talk about Comedy! The place has a giant clown face on the front and the main doors are inside the clown's mouth. All class!

Still reeling from Calder's 9th race yesterday. I'm at the track. I like only 3 horses... the two 7/5 shots (6,11) and the 3 at 25-1. Thers's tons of scratches and only 6 horses. I'm up a couple hundred. AS posttime nears, I'm really liking the 3.

So I play tri's:

$40 3/6,11/6,11
$40 6,11/3/6,11
$10 6,11/6,11/3

So, I've got $180 in. It comes 6/11/3, but if you get a chance, watch the race. It looks like the 3 is gonna run 1-2 until real late. Anyway, the thing pays $69.20 for $2. So, I'm getting back $346.00. Ok, not bad, though I'm in line to cash and a bit p.o.'d I didn't spread a bit better.

So I go to cash my ticket. The teller, a 60ish blue haired gal, runs my tiket through and puts $345 in front of me. I don't touch the money. I look at her. Then I look at the money. Then I take off my glasses, raise my eyebrows and look at her again. The rest goes like this:

Her: What's your problem?
Me: What did that ticket pay?
Her: I gave you $345.
Me: I know what you gave me. What did that ticket pay?
Her: I gave you $345.
Me: OK, you know and I know the ticket is worth $346 and you gave me $345, right?
Her: What's your problem?
Me: You owe me $1.
Her: (Getting angry) I don't have any singles.
Me: I'll wait while you get some
Her: I can't do that. (At this point, the teller next to her, an older guy named "Joe" is starting to laugh pretty hard)
Her: Joe, WTF is your problem!!??!! (now I'm laughing)
Me: Look, it's getting late.
Her: Well, I still don't have any singles.
Me: Maybe Joe can give you change!
Joe: Sure I can!
Her: (turning to Joe) Shut The F@$% Up! (Joe and I laughing uncontrollably now)
Joe: She's been cheating people for years.
Me: Look, I can make change. I have singles.
Her: No. I did the right thing.
Me: I'd like to see your supervisor.
Her: He's busy.
Joe: No he's not, he's right there! (Joe calls over the supervisor)
Sup: What's the problem?
(I explain what's going on and tell the Supervisor that I find it difficult to understand how this teller does not have any singles, that she owes me $1 and I'd like my money so I can leave. Joe's laughing, I'm cracking up. She hands me my $1. )
Sup: Sorry about the misunderstanding (Supervisor walks away)
Joe: Misunderstanding my ass!
Me: Thanks Joe. Here, Have a sandwich on me! (I hand Joe $5).
Her: A@#hole!
Me/Joe: (Laughing)

Next time I go I think I'll bet twenty $2 show tickets and as her to cash them separately. But, of course, only if Joe is there.

Great story! I hate it when tellers try to skim a few bucks off me too. It's ridiculous.

so classic there B.

Thats a great story STS. There are a couple at Calder like that. I was there yesterday also, maybe that teller was the same one who punched my bet wrong for a different track. They got some of them who are half dead, gotta watch them!

That is a classic Bruce story.....I am beginning to think that Bruce is funnier then me

First floor grandstand, main line. Pretty crusty bunch!
