Washed
Up
| Ever
since college, my friend has been a gambler.
He just loved the excitement. For several
years after graduating he traveled around
Las Vegas casinos playing Texas Hold’em.
|
| We
lost touch for a while, but reconnected at
our college reunion. It was there he introduced
me to his wife Barbara and confessed that
he finally gave up gambling and settled down.
“I got a plumber’s license and opened
my own business,” he told me. |
| “That’s
a far cry from gambling in Vegas,” I
commented. |
| “It
is,” he said handing me his business
card. “But gambling gave me a good motto
for my plumbing business.” Across the
top of the card it read, “A good flush
always beats a full house.” |
