These things should come with manuals. There's only so much piecing together one can do about reading these things. Do the voices you all hear take over that often? It's made me a bit more thankful that mine doesn't talk much unless it's about that damned door.

Ignore the above question and let's get a more serious one. I'm out of reading material and the only books in the Venetian's store, I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Where's a good old fashioned Annie's? Hell, I'll take a Barnes and Noble even.

Yes, Miss Robinson? This is Doctor Adam Waterhouse with your monthly check up. How are your blood glucose levels? Any sprains to the anterior talofibular ligament? Please call me back urgently or else these gambling devices will relieve me of all my monies.

Free drinks for whoever wants them.

Distract me. Books have endings. You can read to the back, and you can see what happens on the last page. You can cheat fate, close the cover and refuse to accept the ending. For those of us with things in our heads that haven't ended, what now? Do they never end?

[Immediately following this.]

Ring!

I've had the worst headache since the last full moo

Does anyone know a good cure for headaches besides a nice cigarette?
