Kicked out minor, Ronabee Chua, with baby sitters Dimension Publisher Iska & Editor-in-Cheap Higee with aTrasH Can.

How do you get thrown out of a casino?
By: Bernard "Corps" Santos

Well, for starters, you have to wear short shorts, a tight shirt, carry a small handbag, and best of all, you have to look like Ronabee Chua!!

Yes, sir! The casino management of Harrah’s Hotel in Laughlin, Nevada did not allow Ronabee to play in the casino because they thought she is under 21 years of age. I repeat, under 21 years old!! So, she spent her night baby sitting and watching TV.

Ronald and Iska planned this four-day trip to Laughlin and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Their two kids, Andrew and Rienne came along with us. (not counting the one on the way. Yes, Iska is pregnant…Again!! Ronald is really hammering it, huh! Way to go, Buddy!!) My wife, Marivic had to call in sick from her job to join us. We tried to persuade Higee to come but unfortunately he was really very busy (hacking the Internet, or anything that has a net on it).

We left California on Saturday, May 3rd at 6:00 PM. We arrived in Laughlin at around 11:00 PM. After a late dinner at the Riverside Hotel, we started casino hopping. Call it beginner's luck because everybody lost except Ronabee, who won $50.00 from a slot machine at the Edgewater casino.

We checked-in the next day at Harrah’s Hotel. Iska, Ronabee, Marivic and I watched the hotel’s show while Ronald accompanied their kids to play some video games at the arcade. After the show, it was Iska’s turn to take care of the kids so that Ronald could come play with us at the hotel’s casino. They chose to play pai-gow.

We didn’t pay much attention to Ronald’s history of being occasionally asked for an identification whenever he plays in a casino. We did not expect that this was going to be one of those nights. The card dealer asked Ronald first, then Marivic, then Ronabee. (How come they didn’t ask me? Hmmm?)

So here comes the problem, inspite of all our persistence and testimony, telling them that Ronabee is over 21, they asked her for identification but the sweet, very young looking lady forgot to bring her passport. They insisted on asking her to provide an acceptable proof of her age or leave the premises. Well, at least they did not ask her why she likes hanging around with a mature-looking group than playing video games at the arcade or going to a disco with a bunch of teenagers.

So, I ended up escorting her back to the hotel room. She was really inis na inis, she could have jumped out of the window from the 18th floor. If you guys could only see the disappointed look in her eyes, not to mention the loud blowing of her nose, I was gonna symphatize with her by crying too and throwing a tantrum but I could not wait to go back downstairs to enjoy a very challenging game of black jack! The only reassuring thing that I could tell her was that, she should be flattered because at age 31, she can still fool a lot of people to mistakenly think that she’s still underage or maybe they’re just blind or in need of new prescription glasses.

Anyway, we just played a little bit because we needed to get some rest to prepare for the three-hour drive to the Grand Canyon where there’s no age limit. The only thing that we were afraid of is that they might have set a weight limit. Well, you know, para maiwasang ilipad ka ng hangin, you should weigh at least 60 pounds. With a weight limit I’m sure they won’t allow Ronabee to roam around the park and enjoy the magnificent view of the Grand Canyon. To cut the story short, we spent a few hours admiring the scenic views, took a lot of pictures and hiked at the edge of the canyon, then drove back to the hotel in Laughlin.

After dinner, Ronabee wished us goodluck because she knew she won’t be able to come with us to gamble. She’s supposed to spend another boring night at the hotel room. Then Marivic came up with a very sneaky plan, she made Ronabee use her sundress, put on some make-up then Wallahh!! Ronabee was able to play again without anybody asking if she’s over 21. Well, she lost this time but all of us had a lot of fun. They even did some shopping at outlet stores in Barstow on our way home.

From the desk of the Publisher

After two and a half months of grilling, I am back in circulation. Although I dread being the object of the editor’s articles, it somehow drew us closer together. I have been vocal about my admiration for his talents and now I have a deep gratitude for his keeping me afloat.

You will have to endure reading our different antics in the past two and a half months unless you send us articles about your own experiences with batch mates, old friend or not. So why don’t you join the fun of putting people on the spot, on the front page of our own publication at that!

Ige, you are next in line for our Profile column, so you better campaign that no one sends us nasty information about you, like our inside joke, "Single with kids."

Hope to hear from you again.

Note: Whatever happened to the scheduled March meeting of the Executive Committee? Care to inform the rest of the class?

The Grin Korner

Whale of a Story

One day, two whales, a male and female, are swimming off the coast of Japan when the male whale sees the whaling ship that killed his father years ago.

Excited at the opportunity to avenge his father's death, the male whale says to the female "Let's go underneath the ship and blow air through our blow holes. That ought to knock their boat over, and make them think twice about killing us, poor innocent whales."

The female whale agrees, the plan works perfectly. Once the whaling ship has completely sunk, the male whale notices that most of the sailors are making their way back to the shore by either swimming or in lifeboats.

Not willing to let them get away so easily, the male whale yells "They're going to shore - Let's go gobble them up!" Just then the female whale becomes less cooperative: "Listen, Moby", she says, "I agreed to the blow job, but there is NO WAY I'm swallowing seamen!"

Tarzan

Tarzan got into a fight with a lion and was torn up really bad. After killing the lion, he struggled through the jungle to the local village and collapsed at the witch doctors hut. After examining Tarzan, the witch doctor determined that one eye was torn out of its socket, his left arm was bitten completely off, as was his pecker.

Looking around the village for spare parts, the witch doctor decided to implant an eye from an eagle which was just killed that day. About that time a group of villagers staggered in carrying a freshly killed gorilla, so the witch doctor cut off its left arm and grafted it to Tarzan's shoulder. Perplexed as to what to do about the missing pecker, the best solution he could come up with was to graft the trunk of a recently captured baby elephant to Tarzan's stub. Tarzan healed after a while and returned to the jungle... Several weeks later he returned for a check up. The witch doctor asked how his eye was. Tarzan replied "Eye good! Tarzan see very far now, like eagle". "How's your new arm?", the witch doctor asked. "Arm good! Tarzan now can swing thru trees much better!"

"And how's your new penis?" continued the witch doctor. "No like 'em new prick! It keep pickin' up weeds and shovin' 'em up ass!"

Parrots

A lady approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say?" the priest inquired.

"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?' " "That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots who I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."

The next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest's house. His two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say, "Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"

One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away. Our prayers have been answered!"
