Hey!- Have you ever been a small japanese man with all the cutest escorts from Vegas pouring you drinks, and Tony Bennet winking at you from the Bar area?... It's a tough habit to leave.

I go to my photolab, I want twenty bucks, I take twenty bucks. My wife needs change for pizza, she grabs my wallet, she takes the money for pizza. Since when is it so wrong for a lonely and adventurous CEO to take a few bucks from the Account to play some extra Keno rounds?...

Oh Sorry everybody, I had my Sacrasm On.

[/Sarcasm OFF]

It is a shame. To get so high, and then lose focus -no pun intended- of your priorities. I strongly believe a part of him thought they would never find out about it. I feel no simpathy for him, unless he has a receipt for $6mill from the Betty Ford Gambling Rehab Program. I am glad he was not working the line, or my lenses wouldn't be as good.

PS: Now that I think about it, the Sigma EX lenses, may have been named after EXcalibur the Casino. Crap, My Sarcasm is back.

Cheers,

No wonder their lens caps are getting cheaper all the time.

have you noticed how they tend to look like the Caesar's Cup holders for High-Rollers?... You might be onto something here...

"...Sigma Corp. of Japan, the world's largest maker of camera lenses." I didn't know that!

The News left out the part about him leaving his wife and Children and ran off with his girl friend. The same girlfriend that posted his bail.
