My wife and I are enjoying a long needed vacation and conference in Reno, Nevada. We decided to save quarters to feed the slot machine as they get quite hungry and can keep you up late at night if you don't feed them regularly. Do you know how heavy a backpack full of quarters is!?
Get to the airport, headed through security and guess who gets stopped? Yep, I cleared, but my back pack didn't!! Of course the quarters are the problem...I guess you can't see through quarters in the X-Ray machine. The contents were removed (honestly I think the lady was hoping I had my underwear packed inside so she could grab a pair), items checked, then it was all put in a plastice tub and given back to me to repack. Don't you think they could at least repack the items for you??!!
The real kicker to this whole mess... when we get to the casino you no longer can use quarters to feed the machines, just paper money and vouchers!! Oh boy, all that for nothing and if we don't find a place to cash these quarters in, we have to pack them through security again on the way home!
Moral of this story: Bring your qaurters to the DRESDEN JUNK-SHUN to spend...we aren't as picky as the casinos:)

Those of us old enough to remember (there will be a few ladies in the crowd that will say, "gee I don't remember that"), listened to a song back in the 70's titled "Ride Captain Ride". One line in that song says "No one heard them calling, no one came at all. 'Cause they were to busy watching, those old raindrops fall". |
