Today I got "I guess it wouldnt make sense for me to play against you, so I will tell you my strategy. I always play two-seven because if you flop two pair or better nobody will expect it"

I said "uhhh yeah I guess that works sometimes"

[McBusto]

"I always play low cards, because alot of people don't play those cards so there are more left in the deck"

Amazing you play trivial pursuit? WHEN AM I GOING TO SEE YOU ON JEPOARDY, LOL

Amazing, you are a plumber? I tried to fix my plumbing once with a hacksaw and rust exploded in my eye and I had to go to the hospital. Can you believe my bad luck?

Amazing, you are a tax lawyer? If I give you my tax returns, can you do them for me?

Amazing, you are a doctor? I have been getting bluish-green patches on my taint whenever I have sex with dead people...can you help me with that?

A lot of doctors I know are constantly hounded by people for medical advice or try to discuss their health problems or whatever. I think it would be a horrible job to have to talk about with clueless idiots.

Try being a poker playing computer guy. I can't have any conversations about what I do for 14 hours a day without wanting to kill myself. I don't have much to say.

I have dinner at in-laws house every couple of months or so. Every single time, my father-in-law and I have the following conversation:

Father-in-law: "You still playing poker?"

Me: "Yep."

Father-in-law: "People are really getting in trouble with credit cards and online gambling."

Me: "Yeah, some people have."

Father-in-law: "I watch poker on t.v. It really all comes down to luck you know."

Me: "So, what's for dinner?"

Yep that is me. Something my wife's boss recently asked was essentially this:
Them: "Which parts from these old, broken computers should we combine to form one working computer that would be the sole location for tons of important files."

Me: "..."

My Mom had flashbacks to my father blowing thousands shooting craps back in the day.

Was really hard to get her to stop carping on it.
