Luck

I was never one to gamble. I like a sure thing. If I go to a casino I play the penny machine for one penny a pull. That way I have 100 pulls. I figured that this calculation would maximize my time at the machine. Needless to say, I lose my money in 1000 seconds as I only allot ten dollars for the day. For that reason I have only played at a casino 3 times in my life. My mother, on the other hand, likes to go for one hour a week. She says that she loves the tumult and excitement. She also feels better there. Casinos have a higher percentage of oxygen pumped into their air filtration system to keep people awake. It also keeps the elderly charged. She knows how to work the machines and always comes out a winner. Some weeks she wins more than my salary.
