Down Under Woes for Poker Stars

I really am starting to feel for the guys at Poker Stars online poker site. Not only did they take an incredible blow when they were hit by the US Department of Justice in April over Black Friday, but they are now affected by every possible rumor out there. Media reports recently stated that the online poker firm is planning is leave Australia. Within minutes, the poker world was abuzz with this “news”, including poker forums and chat rooms. This lead to Poker Stars having to put out a special statement saying that: “The rumor that PokerStars has decided to block Australian players on August 1 is not true. If the company decides to block players in Australia or in any other country it will notify players accordingly.” Hey, media outlets out there – give these guys a break. They deserve to be cut some slack…

An Aussie pirate walks into a bar with a wooden leg, a hook and an eye patch.

The Barman says ‘Sheesh – How’d you lose the leg?’

The Pirate says ‘Arrrrr – A shark took it off at the knee.’

The Barman says ‘Thats no good, what about the hand?’

The Piarate says ‘Arrrrg – Lost it in a bloody bar brawl.’

The Barman says ‘Jeez – Well what about the eye then?’

The Pirate says ‘Thats easy a seagull crapped in it.’

The Barman says ‘What?!?!’

The Pirate says ‘Arrrrrrr…I’d only had the hook one day…’
