			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US Department of Justice has been ruling the online gambling industry with an iron fist for years, maintaining that the antiquated Wire Act of 1961 made it illegal for anyone to wager online on any type of game. There were some gambling firms such as Party Gaming who paid the government literally millions of dollars in a plea deal as they had offered online casino games which supposedly went against this act. Now, out of the blue, the DOJ published a reversal of the opinion that the Wire Act incorporates all gambling, and said that it only relates to sports betting. Like, huh? Why this sudden change of heart? Why now? Critics say that the fact that the DOJ chose to publish its findings on Christmas Eve makes it even sneakier. Of course, the online gambling industry in the US is overjoyed as this could open doors to multiple opportunities, but you must admit, it’s all kind of weird…</p>
<p>And speaking about sneaky….</p>
<p><em>A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all work at the same office for a female boss who always goes home early.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hey, girls,&#8221; says the brunette, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go home early tomorrow. She&#8217;ll never know.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>So the next day, they all leave early right after the boss does.</em></p>
<p><em>The brunette gets some extra gardening done.</em></p>
<p><em>The redhead goes to the salon.</em></p>
<p><em>The blonde goes home to find her husband cheating with her female boss!</em></p>
<p><em>So, the blonde quietly sneaks out of the house.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;That was fun,&#8221; says the brunette the next day. &#8220;We should do it again sometime.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;No way,&#8221; says the blonde. &#8220;I almost got caught.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most 85 year old women would be content to sit out on the verandah, knitting socks and watching the world go by. Janie Sanchez, however, is not most women. Behind the quiet façade of an ordinary home in a quiet US neighborhood, Sanchez was the ‘mastermind’ of a gambling operation that took bets of up to $100 from visiting friends and neighbors. The police who raided the family home found betting slip cards, betting cards and in excess of $10,000 in cash – as well as two guns. Incredibly, the police said that because of Sanchez’s advanced age and the fact that she wasn’t considered a flight risk, she would not be arrested.</p>
<p><em>“Aging Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl&#8217;s old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.</em></p>
<p><em>Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor&#8217;s office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be. &#8220;On a woman,&#8221; the doctor said, &#8220;your heart would be just below your left breast.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee. ”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here’s a word of warning to gamblers in Malaysia: Learn how to swim! Five men in Sungai Petani were scrambling to escape a police raid in a gambling den, and raced into a river to get away from them. The only problem was that they couldn’t swim and, unfortunately, their bodies were found floating in the 0.6 m deep river the following day. For those interested, the game they were playing was judi belangkas, where players need to bet on a series of pictures such as prawns, horse shoe crab and flowers, before a dice is rolled.</p>
<p><em>Courtesy of Sport Joke Café:</em></p>
<p><em>One day, a diver was enjoying the aquatic world 20 feet below sea level. He noticed a guy at the same depth he was, with no scuba gear on whatsoever. The diver went below another 10 feet, but the guy joined him a minute later. The diver went below 15 more feet, a minute later, the same guy joined him. This confused the diver, so he took out a waterproof chalkboard, and wrote, &#8220;How the heck are you able to stay under this deep without equipment?&#8221; The guy took the board and chalk, erased what the diver had written, and wrote, &#8220;I&#8217;m drowning, you moron!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since Black Friday, April 15th, when the US Department of Justice swooped down on online poker sites and froze their domains, members of these sites have been frantically trying to get their hands on their funds in their gaming accounts. While some sites have reached an agreement with the DOJ and have started paying out, others have stalled until now. This week, Absolute Poker announced that it has reached a deal with the authorities and that the funds were now untied and ready to be paid out. However, in the next breath, the site says that due to “several legal issues that must be first navigated”, the funds won’t be immediately available for withdrawal. So, tell us exactly, how does this change facts for desperate online poker players with money at this site? All they really care about is hearing that they can withdraw their money. Am I the only one who doesn’t ‘get’ the raison d’etre of this announcement??</p>
<p><em>A Blonde who was down on her luck decided to raise some money by kidnapping a kid and holding him for ransom. She went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and told him, &#8220;I&#8217;ve kidnapped you.&#8221;</em><br />
<em>She then wrote a note saying:</em><br />
<em>“I&#8217;ve kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the pecan tree next to the slide on the north side of the playground.</em><br />
<em>Signed, A Blonde.”</em></p>
<p><em>The Blonde pinned the note to the kid&#8217;s shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents.</em><br />
<em>The next morning the Blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was sitting beneath the pecan tree. She opened up the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said,</em><br />
<em>How could you do this to a fellow Blonde?</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were running an illegal internet gambling operation and had so much cash lying around that you didn’t know what to do with it, where would you hide it? Two South Korean brothers decided to get original as it gets and hid their stash &#8211; $10 million worth of it! – in a garlic field. When the pair felt the police breathing down their neck, they asked their farmer brother in law to help them hide the money. While he agreed to do so, what he didn’t tell them was that that he would gradually start helping himself to the millions, until he had spent nearly one third of it. Their downfall finally came after the brother in law accused a landscaper of stealing some of the cash. The landscaper ran to the police to say that he had been falsely accused… the police stepped in… and the story was out in the open. The brothers were arrested and the police confiscated the dough……</p>
<p><em>First vampire: I live on garlic alone.<br />
Second vampire: Anyone who does that should live alone<br />
First witch: Why do you keep throwing bunches of garlic out of the window?<br />
Second witch: To keep the vampires away.<br />
First witch: But there aren&#8217;t any vampires round here.<br />
Second witch: See, it works doesn&#8217;t it<br />
Did you hear about the man who ate 106 cloves of garlic a day?<br />
He was taken to hospital in a coma.<br />
Doctors said it was from inhaling his own breath</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m all for responsible gambling but I reckon that the Nova Scotia Gaming Corp went a little bit overboard with their latest statement. The group released a warning to all parents not to buy their kids lottery tickets as Christmas gifts so as not introduce them to the ‘dangers of gambling.’ According to the corporation, early exposure to lottery and gambling could lead to problem gambling in later life. “It could begin with something as innocent as giving a lottery ticket as a gift,” the group warns ominously…. Lighten up guys! You mean to tell me that kids aren’t exposed to the lottery in other ways? What about lottery ads, billboards, radio jingles? What about watching moms, dads, older siblings, aunts and uncles scratching their lottery cards in fun? Do all these kids turn into problem gamblers??? Sometimes I think these guys seriously need to get a life!</p>
<p><em>Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime, they knelt beside their beds to say their prayers. The youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs: “I PRAY FOR A NEW BIKE AT CHRISTMAS. I PRAY FOR A NEW IPOD AT CHRISTMAS. I PRAY FOR A NEW WII AT CHRISTMAS….”<br />
His older brother poked him in the ribs and said: “What are you yelling for? God isn’t deaf!” To which his brother replied: “I know. But Gramma is!”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cyprus is going for a long shot as far as odds go. The government of this island state is making an attempt to ask the European Commission if it has its permission to ban online gambling outright in the country. What reason, you may ask? Because Cyprus believes that online gambling has driven the rate of crime up. Analysts say that the government doesn’t stand much chance in getting its request okayed, which will force Cyprus to appeal – beginning a process that will take years and years. Methinks that Cyprus should simply do like it the Joneses (in this case, Spain, France, etc. etc.) and open its doors to foreign operators. What you can’t beat, join!</p>
<p>And on the subject of the power of the EC:</p>
<p><em>“The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty&#8217;s Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of &#8220;Euro-English&#8221;.<br />
In the first year, &#8220;s&#8221; will replace the soft &#8220;c&#8221;. Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard &#8220;c&#8221; will be dropped in favour of the &#8220;k&#8221;, which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.<br />
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome &#8220;ph&#8221; will be replaced with &#8220;f&#8221;, making words like &#8220;fotograf&#8221; 20% shorter.<br />
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent &#8220;e&#8221; is disgrasful.<br />
By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing &#8220;th&#8221; with &#8220;z&#8221; and &#8220;w&#8221; with &#8220;v&#8221;.<br />
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary &#8220;o&#8221; kan be dropd from vords kontaining &#8220;ou&#8221; and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!” www.davidbrown.co.uk</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read yesterday that a guy from Allentown was charged by police for theft and access device fraud over comp cards. The guy apparently gambled at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem and – according to the police – cashed in credits on comp cards that other unsuspecting players left behind. There were an amazing 155 Player’s Club Cards in John Misiora’s possession. I guess he didn’t stop to think that just because they were complimentary points it didn’t mean that they were all for him. Anyway, Misiora was let out on $10,000 bail. In my humble opinion, he’ll have to get a crash course in how casino comps really work.</p>
<p><em>And while we are on the subject, this is a true story about another very dumb crook:</em></p>
<p><em>A guy walks into a store, puts a $20 bill on the counter and asks for change.<br />
The store keeper opens the till and the guy suddenly pulls out a gun and demands all the cash in the register.<br />
The store keeper obliges fast and shoves the money into the crook’s hands.<br />
The crook grabs the cash, leaving his $20 on the counter and runs from the scene of the crime.<br />
The problem – for the crook, that is – is that there was only $15 in the cash drawer. Talk about crime not paying!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know (I sure didn’t) that there is a law in the state of Illinois where you can basically accuse someone of illegal gambling and claim three times the total winnings made – even if you weren’t the person cheated out the money. So, this guy, Scott Crespo decides that he’s going to sue six poker professionals who are regular players at <a href="http://www.online-poker-explorer.com/bodog-poker/">Bodog Poker</a> and<a href="http://www.online-poker-explorer.com/full-tilt-poker/"> Full Tilt</a> and who have made winnings of over $14 million online and $4.3 million offline. Crespo claims that the group used collusion, cheating and online bots to win games and tournaments, and wants three times what they won at the over 700 tournaments that they took part in…. I don’t know what type of proof this guy has, but it seems it’s just another case of a delusional individual clogging up the legal system for his few minutes of glory.</p>
<p><em>He’s a joke about cheating of a different kind…courtesy of Jokes4All:<br />
A woman was cleaning her husband’s dresser drawer when she found 3 golf balls and a box with $2000 in it. She waited for him to come home from the golf course to ask him why these things were hidden in his dresser drawer.</em></p>
<p><em>The husband said “I&#8217;m sorry I hid this from you but the truth is every time I cheated on you over the last 30 years I put a golf ball in the drawer.”</em></p>
<p><em>The wife was very upset at first but after thinking about it said: &#8220;I guess 3 times in 30 years is really not that bad! Oh by the way what is the $2000 in the drawer? The husband replied: “Well every time I got to a dozen balls I sold them.”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a good laugh yesterday reading how authorities in Harris County, Georgia dealt with complaints about gambling machines in several locations. Citizens called the police after saying that they (gasp) saw real money being paid out on popular casino games at gas stations and pool bars. The law enforcement authorities decided to pull a daring midday (!) raid on eight different locations simultaneously. The funny part (IMHO) is that they had to call in the Metro Narcotics Task Force to help. Not because there were drugs involved, of course – only because Harris County didn’t have the manpower to conduct such a large scale raid! Remember, we’re talking about eight locations here…. To cut a long story short, $60K in cash was seized, as well as 60 gambling machines. And, no, there weren’t any drugs found….</p>

<p><em>The phone rings at FBI headquarters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hello? I&#8217;m calling to report my neighbor, Clifford. He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you very much for the call, sir.&#8221;</p>
<p>The next day, FBI agents descend on the neighbor&#8217;s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swear at the neighbors and leave.</p>
<p>The phone rings at the neighbor’s house. Hey, Clifford, did the FBI come?&#8221; &#8220;Yep.&#8221; &#8220;Did they chop your firewood?&#8221; &#8220;Yep.&#8221; &#8220;Great, now it&#8217;s your turn to call. I need my garden plowed.&#8221;</p>
