Deep Voice

Sent June 16, 2008

A man walks along a lonely beach. Suddenly he hears a deep voice: DIG!

He looks around; nobody's there. "I am having
hallucinations," he thinks. Then he hears the voice again: I SAID, DIG!

So he starts to dig in the sand with his bare hands, and
after a bit, he finds a small chest with a rusty lock.

The deep voice says: OPEN!

OK, the man thinks, let's open the thing. He finds a rock
with which to break the lock, and when the chest is finally open, he sees a lot of gold coins.

The deep voice says: TO THE CASINO!

Well, the casino is only a few miles away, so the man takes the chest and walks to the casino.

The deep voice says: ROULETTE!

So he changes all the gold into a huge pile of roulette
tokens and goes to one of the tables where the players gaze at him with disbelief.

The deep voice says: 27!

The man takes the whole pile and drops it at the 27. The table nearly bursts. Everybody is quiet when the croupier throws the ball.

The ball stays at the 26.

The deep voice says: OOOPS!
