Legend

Merry Christmas all. I love getting the family together for the Holidays, because we get to occasionally hear stories about relatives.
My great Uncle Charlie-boy from North Carolina went gambling in Los Vegas back in the 70’s one time. He took about thirty thousand dollars with him. He went high stakes gambling a lot, either to Vegas, Atlantic City, the Carribean, etc. But this one trip he lost it all. Then he borrowed another thirty thousand from the mafia and promptly lost almost everything.
So with only about two thousand left, he went to Reno, hoping to have better luck. And he did. By the end of the weekend, he had paid back the mafia, won his original 30k$ back, and made probably another 30k$. He promptly rented the entire floor of the hotel and threw a big party for people he met around town. Including Frank Sinatra. At one point, he threw a cowboy boot at his wife Myrtle, missed, and had it break through the window of the hotel.
The costs of damages and all the food ate up the 30k$ extra he made. But he was still mad, since he never did find his boot.
