I also have to respond to this subject line with a question - who has seen the movie "Trixie" - it's one of my favorites. While the plot is somewhat weak, Emily Watson starts as the tile role, a former casino security guard who turns private detective.
The entertainment is in the many ways she murders common phrases, such as "Why do people always beat a dead horse to death" (hence this response), and explaining that's she's newly in the PI business with "I'm a little green behind the ears". There are at least 30-40 of these that I found amusing.
For poker players, you may wish to borrow her "You're probably wondering if I have an Ace up my hole". And for all of us "The less you bet, the more you lose when you win" - a great money management maxim. If these make you wince, like Trixie, I'll ask "does the pain really hurt?".
