Let’s just say that you were a 23 year old guy who happened to have the hots for a young lady. And let’s just presume that the young lady happened to be the daughter of a very prominent politician whose flagship podium message is drunk-bashing. And let’s, just for a moment, presume that the politician was none other than the premier of one of the most important states in Australia. How, exactly would you go about making an impression on her daddy? All bets are on that it wouldn’t be to get drunk at a casino and get yourself thrown out. Unfortunately, nobody advised the boyfriend of Elizabeth Brumby, daughter of Victorian Premier, John Brumby that the way NOT to win your way into your potential father in law’s heart is to get yourself evicted forcefully from the Crown Casino in Melbourne – especially when said FIL has always led a high profile stance against alcohol fuelled violence… “The premier reaffirms that the government does not tolerate alcohol-related crime,” came a terse statement from his premiership. “As this is a private matter for the man concerned, we will not be commenting any further.” Oh well.
And while we’re on a list of ‘don’t do’s’, we thought we’d add a couple for the benefit of our gambling friends:
-
Don’t wink at the dealer – especially if he’s the same sex.
-
Don’t chew big ice cubes at the craps table.
-
Don’t ask the croupier if you can use your lucky dice.
-
Don’t bother counting cards with your fingers.
-
Don’t ask the blackjack dealer if he knows any good card tricks.
