Gambling Again

I was gambling in a casino somewhere, although the surroundings didn't seem familiar to me. I had just won a jackpot on a quarter slot machine, and the bells and whistles were going off as my credits tallied up on the machine. At first I thought I won $100, but the number of credits kept going past 400. A woman next to me pointed out that I hit a triple score, which meant that I was actually getting $300.

The tally finally stopped adding up at $500.25. I hit the button to cash out, and it printed out a ticket for my winnings along with lots of other papers. I remarked to the attendant nearby that it was weird to have so many papers to fill out for a jackpot as little as $500.

As I was walking away from my machine I ran into Jenny Eveland, a girlfriend of mine from a long time ago. She grabbed my hand and lead me towards the indoor pool area where some of our friends were waiting. Bob Parsley was in there, getting ready to play some football in the pool. Some kids started splashing all of us, so I left and went to the bathroom area.

I went into the men's bathroom and saw two girls there waiting to use the restrooms with the closing doors. At first I thought I had gone in the wrong restroom, but I looked at the door and saw the "MEN" sign... they had just come into the men's side because there was a line in the women's restroom.
