There was once a butcher who was carving a joint of meat for a customer who had been coming for many years.
“Pardon me,” the customer asked, “But isn’t that the same knife you had last year? Do you need to sharpen it often?”
“It’s the same knife I’ve had for the last 17 years,” the butcher replied, “And I haven’t had to sharpen it even once. For, when I cut the meat, I allow the knife to find its own way through the flesh without effort or stress.
“And when I come to a tricky bit with lots of cartilage, I just slow down and allow the mystery to solve itself and in no time the meat falls right off the blade.”
I look at the dealer, seeing if she is in on the joke, but she was totally serious. Wow - that's terrible dealing. I look at the BB who was going to call the original raise but isn't sure what to do now that he is facing a reraise. And I look at the string raiser, trying to see if he is laughing - he isn't. I want to say something, but I'm stuck somewhere between laughing and confused that no one is objecting or doing anything about this.
Where I play the dealer enforced the string bet rule but isn't allowed to call it. Someone still active in the hand has to say something. Allows people to freeroll angle shooters I guess.

There is a kind of justice to that. Except when it's freerolling newbies, not angle-shooters.

Same at Bay 101, although being in the hand is not really a requirement. Some (bad) dealers call it anyway.
I have decided to write a best seller! I am going to try to write about my work experience and weave poker stories into it. I've got plenty of work stories (if somebody knows how to work this 'fantastic' search function perhaps they can dig up my 60th B-day OOT thread for samples) but am looking for poker topics that I can render as hilarious. All help appreciated.
Here's my opening paragraph. I think it'll grab w/e editor reads it to at least read the second. If that person gets to the third page I'm in!
"I have spoken a sentence that has never been spoken by anyone else in the English language (or any other for that matter) and I do not think ever will be spoken again. Of course there are some nit-picking people to whom I’ve told this story that say that my claim is probably not true but if they are right then I feel damn sorry for the poor person that has had occasion to utter the same ridiculous thing."
HB, because of these last few posts I just read through your entire 60th bday thread. You can't see it, but I'm standing up and applauding you sir. Bravo! That is some amazing stuff. Personally, I loved the Chicky the gangster story, and I think the book is a no-brainer.

Thank you and thanks for finding it for me, I want to be sure that I haven't skipped anything. Searching memory has come up w/ additional mini-stories. I've got some good general gambling stories (IDK if you've seen this one) but I'd like some poker topics also.
Hero is down two racks. Dealer pitches first card of the hand to Hero and it hits his neighbor's hand and flips over. J. Second card is a J. Replacement card is a 6.
Hero then watch/pukes as the flop goes off 6-handed for two bets, comes AJx, and two guys go to war with each other and eventually split the pot with AK.
