Default Is that a radio? with a puzzled look on the old guy\'s face.

Caesars IN Friday late afternoon, they start a new $4-8 game and a nice old man that I had never seen in the room before sits on my left. I am an amiable guy and always speak to the players near me so we exchange hellos and chat a little.

I am now a member of the headphone club and always have my MP3 hanging around my neck. He asks what I am listening to and I reply "The Police". He gets a really puzzled look on his face and asks if my MP3 player is a radio. I say "No it is an MP3 player and I have a lot of different music loaded on it but the music I like best is from the 70's and 80s." He asks,"Is The Police the name of a group?" Everybody at my end of the table is grinning when I answer. He couldn't figure out how/why I was listening to a police radio calls at the poker table.

He turned to be a really nice old man and a pretty good player.

LOL. Gotta love the old guys that seem to be clueless to anything and new in the last 20 years.

The Police was new 20 years ago? You're either too young to remember, or older than you think you are. Be careful makin' fun of the geezers. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I utilize this same ruse on the young players as well. Nothing like appearing to be a cleuless old geezer to help you get the cash.

Summary: Old guy sees iPod, says "radio?"

Standard.

that's a horrible summary. the whole funny part was that old balls thought OP was listening to a police radio at the poker table.

No the funny part was that OP thought Old Guy didn't know what the OP was doing.
