Where the $#@#$ is the nearest @#$# hotel?


When visiting one of the top ten U.S. cities that have the most cursing citizens, the blue air may help. You can then feel free to tell off misbehaving cabbies, waiters, hotel clerks  and others in the same foul language.

So, next time you’re there, prepare to cuss in these $#%& cities, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, listed in rank ... very rank ... order:

Washington DC: Who wouldn’t curse in a @#$% town full of $#% politicians?
Denver CO: Every time I visit, I get a %#$@ Rocky Mountain high!
Chicago IL: This &%@ city ain’t been the same since &*%$ Al Capone croaked!
Los Angeles: Movies today have too much #$#@ cursing!
Boston: Paul Revere yelled, the %$%# British are coming!
Atlanta: Whatever happened to the %#$ Falcons?
Minneapolis: Holy @#$, it’s minus 115 degrees today!
Phoenix: Holy $#%, it’s 115 degrees today!
New York: The big %^& apple!
Philadelphia: The %$# City of Brother#%# Love

Senior Gambler: Are Greedy Slot Machines Flooring You? PDF Print E-mail


Actually it’s a recent sneaky photo by your travel4seniors.com of a casino repairman busy at work. Security guards grabbed me a moment later. Fortunately, I was let go with a warning. So, you can take this warning.

Despite all the stories and publicity showing happy winners, your chances of winning in a casino, whether at the wheel, cards, craps table or slot machine, are just about nil. Of course, rarely a few gamblers will go home with money. But the real average is that for every dollar you gamble at a casino, the return averages about 60 to 70¢.

Therefore, when the winnings are inevitably gambled back into the games for several hours and days, the results are empty pockets. Of course, along with the gambling, casino hotels offer luxury rooms, endless buffets, free booze, popular entertainment and more glitzy temptations to get you there.

When you visit a glamorous casino, do it with the determination that you’re there to have fun, no matter what the odds stacked against you. And you’re willing to gamble away the inheritance money your ungrateful kids and grandkids are greedily anticipating.
