Fw: Re: Richard Potato

Harry:

Your command of the English language seems more expanded than many, including me....and you haven't heard of the Potato man? You may need to walk the Boardwalk at 3am more often!

This is a term I picked up while working in the Virginia area years ago. Foreign dictators, aka "Dick-'Taters" whom we liked to ridicule were referred to as "Richard Potatoes" in formal meetings when we felt they were not the effective leaders they themselves believed they were. My feelings about casino promotions as related to true savvy players run along those same lines.

continue to let the casinos dictate your play policy to you? Wake up,
and give the old heave-ho to Richard Potato this time! You'll feel a
whole lot better, believe me.

Somehow I don't think that one was ever covered by Peter Funk's "It
Pays to Increase Your Word Power" column (Reader's Digest in the
60's/70's -- I think the column still appears under a new editor).
