Playing Roulette

"Playing Roulette"*

*A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables
in Las Vegas. She's down to her last $50.
Exasperated, she exclaims, "What rotten luck!
What in the world should I do now?" A man
standing next to her, trying to calm her down,
suggests, "I don't know...
Why don't you play your age?"

He walks away. Moments later, his attention
is grabbed by a great commotion at the roulette
table. Maybe, she won! He rushes back to the
table and pushes his way through the crowd.
The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table
operator kneeling over her.

The man is stunned. He asks, "What happened?
Is she all right?"

The operator replies, "I don't know. She put all
her money on 29. When 36 came up, then she
just fainted!"

"Rude Parrot"*

*A lady was walking down the street to work, and
she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.

The parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really
ugly." Well, as you can imagine, the lady is
furious! She stormed past the store to her work.

On the way home she saw the same parrot, and
it said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." She
was incredibly ticked now.

The next day the same parrot again said to her,
"WOW lady, you are still really ugly." The lady
was so ticked that she went into the store and
said that she would sue the store and kill the bird
if the manager didn't take care of this problem.
The store manager apologized profusely and
promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again.

When the lady walked past the store that day
after work, the parrot called to her, "Hey lady."

She stopped and said, "Yes?"

The bird paused, then said, "You know."
