A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says... "Why the long face?" I had to complete that joke last night as we bet on horses at the track. I had never been before and it was a cool experience. We had a penthouse sweet and there were free drinks and food to be had. We even got $30 to bet on the horses. I learned about the Quintilla and boxing and other such gambling terms. I was up most of the night - by about $15. Then like always I bet it all on the last race - which was my downfall. My philosophy is - "I've brought the money to lose, and I might as well take a big risk with it." This time it wasn't even my money. It does pay off big every other time. So somehow the bartender jokes were being told. A man walks into a bar with a frog on his head. The bartender says ,"How'd you get that." The frog says,"It started off as a bump." The person I felt sorry for was the bartender lady in our room. My crew is, well, obnoxious sailors. So she heard an earful of drunk people trying to be funny while swearing. I was just trying to figure out how to judge the horses. It was pretty cool. Now if I can only forget those horrible jokes.

Thought of the Day
"I was free and clear. I was living the dream. I was stripped to the waist eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery."
"Before we go any further, I'd just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise."
