Yesterday I heard (for the third or fourth time) the story of an esteemed senior colleague who won $6500 on one hand of cards at a casino over break, and another esteemed colleague--a psychology professor--offered a novel theory to explain the gambler's persistent good luck:
"He's very religious," explained the psych prof.
I pointed out that many religious people never win six dollars at cards much less six thousand. Like me, for instance.
"Yes," said the psych prof, "but he also tells the world's dirtiest jokes, and that gets God's attention."
Someone ought to put this theory to the test. Do you suppose there's a grant available?

LOL.
I wonder how much he lost along the way? (Casinos stay in business for a reason!)
