Did Her Opthamologist Really Need to Know This?

Oh my.  I just got back to Vegas Thursday afternoon and already there's much to blog about.  First, there was the fact that I actually took down first in the final AVP Weekly Showdown of the year at Bally's Thursday nite.  Some of the dead money I walked away with belonged to Prudence and Tom.

Then yesterday I played in my first World Poker Blogger's Tour  tournament at the Aria.  Despite being short stacked by first break, I managed to outlast all of my buddies and make it to the final table.  Alas, I was the first person to bust out of the final table, and only five got paid.  Nevertheless, the stories I have from the day will make for a lengthy blog post even by my standards.  What with all the bad beats, the suck outs, the celebrity sightings and of course, the usual girl-on-girl french-kissing-right-at-the-tournament-table-action, there should be plenty to talk about.  But that will have to wait, as I have much work to do and more fun to have while in Vegas.  But please stay tuned!

In the meantime,  here's a cute anecdote from an email my friend Woody sent me the other day.  It’s not about Vegas, or poker, but it is a “woman said” story, so here it is (the surgery he mentions is for cataracts—routine):

1.  I was in for surgery today for my right eye

2.  There was an elderly woman in the pre-op bed right next to my bed.  There was a curtain separating us

3.  The nurses were quizzing us both about our allergies

Important:  The old lady told the nurse (in a very old lady sounding voice):

"I am allegic to latex condoms"

4.  A major guffaw erupted from the nurse in the old lady's room

Important:  The nurse said to the old lady:

"Wow, that must make your husband real happy"

Woody followed up the next day with further reaction to this incident:

Before I left the clinic yesterday, I told that story to the eye surgeon, the anesthesiologist as well as to a few nurses.  The nurses are dragging other nurses over and having me tell them what had happened.  As my wife would say, they were all in a "tither."
