I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor
call the local township administrative office to request the
removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason:
'too many deer were being hit by cars' and he didn't want
them to cross there anymore.
_____
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an
airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your
baggage without your knowledge? To which I replied, 'If it
was without my knowledge, how would I know? He smiled
knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
______
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross
the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged
coworker of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer
was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the
light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are
blind people doing driving?!'
______
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who
was leaving the company due to 'downsizing,' Our manager
commented cheerfully, this is fun. We should do this more
often.' Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each
other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
______
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why
her would not turn on.
_____
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile
dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys
had been locked in it. We went to the service department
and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side,
I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it
was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's
open!'
To which he replied, 'I know - I already got that side.'

Play gin-rummy tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
