WHY PARENTS TURN GRAY

The boss of a big company needed to call one
of his employees about an urgent problem with
one of the main computers, dialed the employee's
home phone number and was greeted with a child's
whisper.
'Hello.'
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
'Yes,' whispered the small voice.
'May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, 'No.'
Surprised, and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss
asked, 'Is your Mommy there?'
'Yes.'
'May I talk with her?'
Again the small voice whispered, 'No.'
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave
a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'
'Yes,' whispered the child, 'a policeman.'
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's
home, the boss asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'
'No, he's busy', whispered the child.
'Busy doing what?'
'Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,' came
the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what
sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone
the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'
'A hello-copper' answered the whispering voice.
'What is going on there?' asked the boss, now truly alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, 'The search
team just landed the hello-copper.'
Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated
the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled
giggle: 'ME.'

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
