As some of you may know, I recently took a little trip to Vegas. So while I'm there I find myself at the BlackJack tables at about 3am. Here's the story about how I manage to almost get my ass kicked.
So I'm sitting at this BlackJack table and things are going pretty good. I was severely down at one point and I've managed to claw some of my money back. We're all drunk and were having a pretty good time at this particular table. To set the scene, the players at the table are as follows. In the first position, just to the right of me, there's this girl, I even remember her name, Angie. She's a decent looking girl, curly, dirty blonde hair, black dress, not skinny but definitely not overweight. I'm sitting next in the second position. My buddy Kyle from Chicago is sitting in the third spot. Now, to those of you who don't know Kyle, Kyle is a very large dude. Just imagine a large samoan dude, he even looks like one, although he's Mexican. Next is a random guy, medium build, pretty young, late 20's maybe early 30's. After him is a nother guy, a bit younger, pretty tall, maybe early to mid 20's. There's an older lady at the last spot at the table, she's smoking and she knows the young guy sitting next to her, they are here together. heh. So anyway, we're all playing and we're all drunk. Everyone's having a good time.
We play a couple hands and at some point, the guy sitting next to my buddy Kyle, gets up and moves all the way over and sits next to this girl Angie. Keep in mind that she's sitting in the first position so there's no extra spot there for him to play. Now, I personally didn't find this so odd because Angie was only playing a couple hands and then sitting out a lot. So this guy goes over there and plays the hands that Angie dosen't play. Predictably, he also uses the opportunity to hit on her. He puts his arm around her, keeps asking for drinks and is generally all over this girl. At one point, she looks up at me with this face "please help me!". Try as I might, this guy is all over her. So whatever, I keep playing, and everyone at the table is having fun...... well, everyone except Angie. After a while she gets fed up with it all and decides to leave.
So now this guy is sitting there, looking all sad. He continues to play for about 20 more minutes and then decides he's done as well. After he leaves, my curiosity gets the better of me so I start asking the table about the two. I ask "so were they together or what?". The lady at the far end of the table, who's been pretty quiet but seems to laugh at my jokes pipes up and proceeds to tell me that not only are they not together, that the guy is actually married and his wife was at the table earlier! Of course this leads me to my follow-up question: "was his wife ugly??". The woman tells me that the guys wife was really hot, and not only that but the dealer confirms. (Now, keep in mind, that I'm drunk, it's about 5am in a casino, and I'm being LOUD and generally obnoxious.) So I hear the woman's reply and I go "WELL IN THAT CASE I'LL KEEP HIS WIFE BUSY WHILE HE HITS ON ANGIE". Yeah, I basically yell it. So as this is coming out of my mouth, I look at the dealer and the other players and they have this terrified look on thier faces. I think the dealer was actually shaking his head a little trying to say no. I realize what's going on and quiet down instantly and say "uhhhh..... he's right behind me isn't he?". The lady at the table cracks a huge grin and goes "yup". I BLATANTLY look over my shoulder and sure enough, there he is, looking down at his cell phone. There is NO WAY he didn't hear what I said. HAHA, luckily, he decides just to walk away, didn't even say a word to me. As soon as he was gone the whole table, including the dealer, almost died laughing.
