Old Man Logic

So, the Father-in-Law gets back from his Reno trip. My wife asks if he won, he says not really, he won around 600, but he played it all [he plays keno, which if you look it up is officially the Worst Possible Game in the Casino.]
"So you ended up losing 900."
"No, I just lost the 300 that I brought."
"But you won 600 and played all of it, so that and the 300 you brought means you lost 900."
"No I didn't."


One time he won 200, put 180 back in, and considered it a winning session because he "came home with $20 of their money." This generally happens 4-5 times a week.

One of the reasons he likes to go to this particular casino is that he used to get all kinds of comps there a long time ago. But he doesn't get the comps anymore to eat at the "gourmet" steakhouse and they replaced the other restaurant he likes with a Denny's. So he basically traveled a few hundred miles and spent around $900 to eat at Denny's. "Food tastes better when it's free."

He's going to the local casino again tomorrow.

I know in some universe old people are wise, responsible, etc., but not in mine.

Next time, library books, sorta. Maybe even a picture.
