Vegas is a popular conversation topic among my office's smokers, the ones with a two digit
IQ. They know Vegas geography as well as their own neighborhoods'.
Smoker 1: On the last trip, I walked all the way from X to Y.
Smoker 2: Geez, that's gotta be two miles.
Smoker 3: You coulda caught the monorail at the MGM.
Smoker 1: Yeah, but then ya gotta gotta catch a bus at the Z.
Smoker 4: That's nothing. I once walked from X to A.
I'll never do that again.
Smoker 6: It's a little shorter if you go down Royal Lane.
Smoker 5: How do you get to Vegas, cheap?
Smoker 2: My husband works for U. We go round trip for $69.
... and so it goes, ad nauseum.

What part of "its common knowledge that casino workers have a high
rate of lung cancer and other ailments that have been attributed to
second hand smoke" did you fail to understand, asswipe?

Winning is fun. I never understood how anyone could find LOSING entertaining. Moreover, I
see no entertainment in a game based on mechanical chance rather than skill. It's boring.
I want to script the thing and let it run on autopilot while I go off and have fun.

Ooops! Pardon our faux paux for thinking that refrigerator magnets are
tacky. What the hell are we thinkin'??

Yep, right up there with your bowling pin and ersatz Coors neon beer
sign.

That's lawyer talk, while stalking a million dollar settlement. If it truly were common
knowledge, most people would know it. They don't. At least it would be documented
somewhere. Can you provide a citation?
