Ma's JOKE OF THE DAY!

A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, 'If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?'
'No, I stopped drinking years ago,' the bum said.
'Will you use it to gamble?'
'I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive.'
'Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?'
'Are you NUTS! I haven't played golf in 20 years!'
The man said, 'Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.'
The bum was astounded. 'Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.'
The man replied, 'That's OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf.

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.
