I think that if this little town needs to raise funds, perhaps they should try finding some poker, bunko, bingo, and/or pool games where folks are betting. They should also target people who play the lottery.

Wait, gambling on little scratch cards and 'pick 5 numbers' games of chance are legal, though, right? In fact, the government actually is 'the house', right? They make the lion's share of the proceeds, isn't that how it works?

Oh Tennessee law, you're such a naughty little thing. You're so complicated and hard to figure out. So flippant in some regards (like drunk driving and other forms of murder), yet so crazily obsessive in other areas (like gambling). Such a bad lil' hypocrite you are, Tennessee law, with your: "You can come to MY casino (featured at any local convenience store) but you cannot gamble on a poker game in your own home!"

As always, my dear censors, I offer my thoughts and prayers. On this article, I think I will think and pray about...all the poor folks out there who throw their money away on lottery tickets, just praying that they'll be that 1 in a gajillion that gets the carrot. That's it! I'll think and pray for them.
