The library in Vegas

While visiting a trade show in Vegas, Tony broke from the group at the end of the day, remarking he was going to find a library. Next morning when asked about said library, it turned out he'd instead found a different establishment - women's mud wrestling! I'm betting there was some interesting reading there!

The working poor

Driving to go to a meeting with a vendor, Tony was remarking how he's being made to pay US and Canadian taxes this year. This is a huge hardship and Tony describe himself as "the working poor". Clearly. With a paid for house, new car, new condo, it's a very apt description. Probably.

Lost at the trade show

After four days in Vegas beating the same path to the Signiant booth each day, Tony wanders in to the booth with this gem ... (haltingly) "...sorry I'm late guys, I spaced out on the way here and just didn't know where I was.  It happens from time to time."

Big Mike Vs the Big Mac

Another cracker yesterday.  Tony and some friends had a bet with one of their circle - a chap called "Big Mike" that he couldn't eat a Big Mac in one mouthful.  Somehow, Big Mike defied the laws of physics and managed to stuff an entire big mac (2 all beef patties, lettuce, sauce...) into his gob in one go!  Tony then recounted how Big Mike then started to panic as he couldn't move his jaw to chew and was essentially stuck.

It ended with Big Mike going to the nearly conveniences and picking said Big Mac out of his mouth and disposing of it.  Bleh.
