Grannies on the Road:
Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding
drivers, a
state
trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks to
himself,
'This
driver is as dangerous as a speeder!' So he turns on his lights
and
pulls
the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly
ladies -
two
in the front seat and three in the back, wide-eyed and white
as
ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, 'Officer, I don't
understand.
I was going the exact speed limit. What seems to be the
problem?'
The trooper trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that
22 was
the
route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the
woman
grinned
and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
'But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this
car
OK?
These women seem awfully shaken.'
'Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got
off
Route
127.'
Good one

Play canasta tournaments online
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.
