During World War II some GIs were playing poker in a British sub with some of the local men. One of the British players picked up his hand and said, "Ill wager a pound."

In a family-oriented casino in Las Vegas, a woman hurries over to a security guard and says, "Excuse me, sir, buy my daughter just swallowed a quarter and has to get to a hospital. Can I trust the hospital staff in this city?"

A man tripped and fell on the sidewalk in front of a casino in Atlantic City and suffered a minor injury.

"It's pretty lucky for you that you tripped in front of a casino," said a witness. "Now you can sue the casino director for thousands."

"I can't," said the accident victim.

"Why not?" asked the witness.

"Because I'm the casino director."
