1st BJ in quite a spell

I've taken a break from casinos and intended to wait until the new Midtown casino opens, but fate intervened. I was up at the San Carlo Apache Reservation when my host offered us a comp meal and a few promo chips for their casino.
After a mediocre but free meal, a friend and I turned $30 in promo chips into $25 American dollars. Some of my group recieved tickets for a raffle to be held in about forty minutes, so we all had to wait.
I sit down at a $5 table, and it's choppy as hell. The dealer is annoying, the guy at first base is wearing a polyester suit that reeks of smoke, and I'm catching an occasional whiff of urine. I'm up $5 after 20 minutes, so I'll up my bet to $10 and will leave, win or lose.
I got a pair of sevens, and the dealer's upcard was a 4. I split and end up with two 21s. I'm already making plans for my newfound wealth as the dealer turns over a face. My smile is turned upside down as the next card is another 7, and he pushes my two 21s. I thank him and tip him $5. The whole thing was as thrilling as mall walking.

The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I want to say so many things about the title of this thread but I just can't do it. I recently got suspended for absolutely nothing so I can't take the chance.

I don't understand. I also haven't had a BJ in a while. A good Beaujolais is unlike anything else, delightfully refreshing for a red, but it only seems to be available in certain times and places. I'll have to ask around more to see if anyone is capable of providing me one.
