It had HARRAH'S written on the side of it. My wife and I went in and there were all these people sitting in front of these funny looking machines putting money in them.
What the hell were those people doing? Paying money to see pictures of fruit.
I tell you, Jed, it made Bugtussle on a Saturday night look like Sibley on Sunday morning.
TAW
I swear, I actually know someone here who looks and talks exactly like Jed Clampett, with overtones of that guy from the Polaner All-Fruit Preserves commercial. We went to the Grand Casino at Kinder one night and sat down for dinner in one of the restaurants that had a salad bar. I forget exactly what he brought back to the table, but when he said to me "Would you please pass the jelly?" I almost spit my coffee out. He had never seen the Polaner ad, so he had no idea what made me react like that. Let's just hope he never asks me if I want to go for a dip in the "cement pond." Never a dull moment here, let me tell you...
Last time I was in NOLA was a year ago. I remember a local couple saying that they drive from NO to Mississippi to the casinos. Sorry, I got the wrong impression. I assumed they didn't have them in NO. Either that, or I saw one and didn't pay attention. With Atlantic City an hour from me, gambling is just not my thing.
