What would you do if you were a casino manager and you really wanted to allow your customers to smoke and gamble at the same time, even if the law stated otherwise? The management at Sky City Casino in Adelaide decided to be creative and decided that if players weren’t allowed to wager and smoke indoors, they’d just have to take the pokie machines outdoors. As such, the casino set up 20 pokie machines in an outside courtyard, and for a while, everyone was happy. Unfortunately, the spoil sports authorities got wind of the move and, incredibly, even the state’s premier came into the picture, blasting the casino for its “reprehensible” actions and threatening to change existing laws so that casinos won’t be able to flaunt the smoking policy through loopholes. Am I the only one who thinks that there’s been a slight overreaction here?

“Three kayakers paddled 10 kilometers through heavy seas from one island to another. The first kayaker said “I paddled it in 2 hours.” The second kayaker said “I paddled it in one and a half hours because I had a wind at my back.” The third kayaker said “I paddled it in 30 minutes.” The first and second kayaker asked the third kayaker, “How ever did you do that? That’s amazing.” The third kayaker replied, “Because I had run out of cigarettes.””
