Sitting Out
A man walked into a casino with a crocodile on a leash. The bouncer stopped him and said, "Hey, you can't bring that dangerous animal in here!"
The man replied, "Oh, don't worry, he's well-trained. Watch this!" He took out a deck of cards and started playing a game of poker with the crocodile.
The bouncer was both amazed and skeptical but decided to let them in. As they entered the casino floor, a crowd gathered around the unusual duo. The man confidently announced, "I bet $1,000 that my crocodile can beat anyone at poker!"
A high-roller at a nearby poker table laughed and said, "Sure, I'll take that bet!" He tossed his chips into the pot, and the game began.
To everyone's surprise, the crocodile played with great skill, laying down a royal flush. The high-roller, shocked and a bit embarrassed, handed over the cash.
The man and his crocodile continued to roam the casino, challenging people to poker games and racking up quite a bit of money. The casino manager, eager to keep the peace, approached the man and said, "We appreciate the entertainment, but we can't have a crocodile playing poker in here. It's bad for business."
The man sighed, "Fair enough. We'll go, but only if you promise not to discriminate against crocodiles. They're quite talented card players, you know!"
As they left the casino, the man turned to the crocodile and said, "Well, I guess our gambling days are over. What do you want to do now?"
The crocodile thought for a moment and replied, "How about we find a nice pond and play some fish poker? I hear there's big money in that!"
The man replied, "Oh, don't worry, he's well-trained. Watch this!" He took out a deck of cards and started playing a game of poker with the crocodile.
