It's no secret that Mrs. Hillbilly Mom likes her casino. Likes ANY casino. Likes a VARIETY of casinos. But we mainly stick to the one closest to home. We've been going way more than usual, because of those FREE gifts that we are compelled to pick up.
Farmer H and I now have a full set of American Tourister luggage apiece, you know. And the current promotion is DOUBLE free play on two Saturdays in April. They flat out tell you that the first Saturday is doubled. And as we suspected, it looks like the LAST Saturday is going to be the other one. Hey, you don't know until you gather evidence, right? What if those people who only went on 3 Saturdays don't get theirs doubled, huh? Farmer H gets $20, and I get $50, so we're heading there tomorrow after he's ready to close up his Storage Unit Store.
Anyhoo...earlier this week, I stopped for the mail. I could see there was a casino offer (from our regular casino) in the stack. I wanted to get T-Hoe out of the road before rifling through the mail, and then a car was coming down our gravel road, so I was halfway to the Mansion before I got a look at the casino offer.
$60 in FREE PLAY for weekends in May!
Well! That sounded like a good deal. Who can pass up a FREE $60? Not this old...gal. That's for sure! Then I got to wondering if that offer was good for Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I usually have a separate offer for Sundays. Besides, I only remembered ONE card in that stack of mail. Surely this offer was for ME! What a rip-off it would be if that offer was for Farmer H, and I had none!
As I bumped along the gravel road, Mansion-bound, I pulled that card out and turned it over to see who it was addressed to.
JAMES NEWMAN???
What in the Not-Heaven? That wasn't even an offer for US! It was for our across-the-road neighbor. Whose name is not really James Newman. Well, crap. I turned around and went back to Mailbox Row and put that offer in his mailbox. Darn our substandard mail deliverer!
There I'd been, all excited about the prospect of $240 in FREE PLAY for the month of May...and it was for our neighbor!
I guess he's more of a high roller than I am...
Those mail deliverers really need to be more careful. What a disappointment for you.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! Since it was such a great disappointment for me to find out it wasn't mine...just think how big a disappointment it would have been for my neighbor to find out that he didn't get his monthly offer of free play! That's why I took it back. I imagine a lot of people would have just thought, "Oh, junk mail." And tossed it in the trash.
