Take a Chance on Me

Song:
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
~~ Viva Las Vegas, words & music by Doc Pomus in addition to Mort Shuman

Question:
Is it riskier to put $5 into a slot machine, knowing that, however much you hope, you have already lost it? Or to give $5 to the guy on the street who claims his child needs a repast, knowing that he might, instead, use your money for liquor or drugs?

My Answer (after much thought): Option 1 is a sure thing… you lose $5 to the rich guys who own the German Casino. Option 2 is uncertain… you might lose $5 to a bad cause. Or, you might feed a child for a day. You testament never know.

I vote for taking a chance on an anonymous good deed.

(by the way, like everything in Las Vegas, this looks best big)
