Maybe it's the latex gloves.
Last time anyone put latex gloves on around me, it was my doctor and I knew
this wasn't gonna be a whole lot of fun. So, latex gloves = negative karma.

In an effort to reverse my "it seems like forever" loosing streak I have
adopted a new approach to my playing. First I sit down and send a positive
vibe
to my gaming partner with the bright face and solid body. I am trying to
establish a loving and personal relationship. I retrieve my latex gloves
from my
bag of tricks and put them on. This protects me and my partner from getting
too personal..nuff saidAs we interact I am gentle when I get a loosing hand and do not curse the
machine or bang on it. I do not hit the keys as if I am tenderizing a
porterhouse steak. I try not to spill my cranberry juice on any part of its
surface
and thoroughly clean it up if an accident occurs.When I get a pat hand I give the vp a loving tap and sometimes whisper
sweet
nothings to its RNG. As a result of my gentlemanly behavior I am STILL in
the throes of a ungodly downhill spiral.Meanwhile a fellow sits down to an adjacent machine and proceeds to bang
the
machine, curse just about every hand and within fifteen minutes hits five ofa kind for a grand and is pissed that he missed the big jackpot on the
Triple
Play.What is wrong with this picture???
