To the dealer and pit boss at the MGM: You're doing God's work Was playing blackjack earlier. Crowded evening at the casino. I was sitting a shoe with all spots taken, but the first base open. However, a snuffleupagus was playing the two hole. New player comes up and tries to play first base. Dealer: "I'm sorry, I can't let you play there." New guy: "Why not? It's open. This guy (fatty) isn't playing it." Dealer: "No, but for you to play there you'd have to stand too close to this side of the table because while this gentleman isn't playing two hands he takes up the space of at least two people." Fatty: "Moo moo? Moooooo moo moo moo moooo! Moo moo moo moo mooooooo! I wanna moo to your manager!" I'm sure fatty thought he was going to be comped a dinner or something and had won the lottery. Pitboss boss comes over. Fatty is screaming of how he was insulted about being labeled as taking the space of two people. Put boss: "Sir, that is not an insult, that is an observation of fact, as true as stating my hair is brown. You take up the space of two people. Two large ones." Fucking beautiful. As cleanly as the pit boss fielded the transition I can't help but think this was not the pb's and dealer's first team encounter with an angry hippo. Bravo, lads.
