There are some strange gambling related stories doing the rounds, but this one takes top prize. A woman in Florida called 911 on Thursday night to report that her car – with her 11 year old son inside – had been stolen. After a quick check, the police determined that the car hadn’t been stolen but rather repossessed, with the boy asleep inside. The mother claims that she was on her way to a dollar store when she noticed a Winner’s Circle gambling store and decided to pop in there instead. The police arrested the woman and charged her for leaving a minor unattended while she partook in gambling activities. While the woman claims that she regularly checked up on her son – every 10 minutes or so – a security officer said that she had been playing for over an hour before she noticed that her car, with the child inside, was missing. Mom of the Year award, anyone?
Maurice was known among his friend for the promptness with which he sent his ex-wife her alimony payment each month. His friends could never understand why, considering that she had been such a b&*%h to him during their marriage.
One day, his friend pulled him aside and asked what the other guys were dying to know: why was he so prompt in his payment checks?
Maurice shivered and explained, “I’m afraid that if I ever should fall behind in my payments she might decide to repossess me.”
