Joke of The Day
Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the crap table. A very attractive blonde woman arrived and bet twenty thousand dollars ($20000) on a single roll of the dice. She said "I hope you don't mind but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude."
With that she stripped from the neck down rolled the dice and yelled "Come on baby Mama needs new clothes!" As the dice came to a stop she jumped up and down and squealed... "YES! YES! I WON I WON!" She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed...
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally one of them asked "What did she roll?" The other answered "I don't know - I thought you were watching."
