About Luck

"Who Did It?"

A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far
from the stage.

He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to
watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give
you a handsome tip."

The usher moves him into the second row, and the man hands
the usher a quarter. Yep. 25 cents.

The usher looks at the quarter in his hand, leans over and
whispers, "The wife did it."

"About Luck"

A man goes to the doctor to find out about his tests.
"It's real bad, I'm afraid", says the doc "you've got
a disease so new that it hasn't even got a name yet -
we just call it 'Blue 56'. The only certain thing is that
you'll be dead in three days ."

Naturally the guy is devastated, and goes into a big
depression. His girlfriend suggests they go to Vegas
to cheer him up just a bit till the end comes. So he goes
reluctantly.

As he walks into the Casino, he's the millionth customer
and wins a brand new Rolls Royce. Then he pulls the handle
of a slot machine as he passes, and wins the golden jackpot
of $7 million. He sits down for a rest at the Blackjack table and
wins $100,000 - straight 21 and he can't even be bothered to
turn the cards.

Weighed down with money, he throws it onto the nearest
table. But it's the roulette wheel and the money is on 22 -
which promptly comes up! "Jeez," says the croupier, "I never
seen luck like that in my whole life!"

"No, you don't understand" says the guy, "I've got blue 56."

"Darn! Now you've won the raffle!!"
