Quit your Job. Move To Las Vegas

Pat Adkins :
This guy lives in the Midwest. One day he wakes up getting
ready to go to work. Hears a voice in his head.
The voice says :
“Sell your house. Quit your job. Go to Las Vegas.”
He thinks wow, that’s strange. But you know he gets up.
He goes about his day. Gets out. Goes to work. During
lunch time he’s sitting out in the field there looking at things.
It’s all nice. Taking a break. And here’s this voice in his
head again and it says :
“Sell your house. Quit your job.
Take all your money. Go to Las Vegas.”
He goes, “Man, this is very strange”.
That night you know, he’s laying in bed
as he’s going to sleep he hears the voice :
“Sell your house.” And he’ll hear, “Quit your job”.
And he hears, “Take all your money. Go to Las Vegas.”
Now this starts to go on a lot in his head and it’s making him
crazy. He’s going to work. He’s at work. It’s in his mind
constantly. So one day he says, “I just can’t take this anymore”.
So he does it. He sells his house. Takes all the money out
of the bank. Hops on a plane. Goes to Las Vegas. He’s on
the plane. Plane lands in Las Vegas. He gets off the plane.
He’s sort of wandering in the airport when all of a sudden he
hears the voice in his head :
“Go to the casino.”
He goes, “Ah, ok”. So he grabs his stuff and he goes to the
casino. He’s in the casino. He’s wandering around.
He’s looking. And he hears the voice say :
“Go to the roulette wheel”.
He goes, “Oh cool. Ok.” (rubs his hands)
So he gets to the roulette wheel and he’s there.
He’s looking around the table. He’s getting the vibe and he’s
getting his chips together. And he hears the voice and the
voice says, “Play red 17. Put all your money.
Everything you own on Red 17.”
He goes, “Aw this is it man. I’m so excited. I know this
voice is gonna make me a lot of money”.
He puts all of his chips down on Red 17.
The croupier spins the table. The turntable’s going.
The ball’s rolling. It drops.
Black 9.
All of a sudden the guy looks up
and he hears the voice in his head.
The voice goes :
Fuck!
