Ok here goes...The wife and I took a trip up to Reno one year collecting all the silver strikes from that area..Well we headed out to Verdi,and stopped at Gold Ranch....I found only one machine and so I sat down and put my $20. in...I got only a couple of cherries..I put in another $20. and started talking to the machine(((how many of you collecters talk to the machines??)))..Well another $20 bucks down the drain...Now it is starting to get personal...Third $20. goes in and I am sure it is going to spit them out real soon now....Forth $20.Fifth $20.now it is personal...I will get a strike out of this #$@%%^^& machine no matter what...Sixth $20. bill and the steam is rising from my ears now...NOTHING I was done, cooked,reality finally set in and I left the machine with head bowed...Saying to myself...Why did I do that...You dump #$$#@^%....

As I headed for the door,I ran straight into the change booth...Like the bright person I was,,I said...Do you have any of those silver strikes for sale....How many would you like,was the reply....

Moral of the story..Ask first:-)))..
