Pai Gow

My vacation started the moment I left the office today. I thought I would stay in tonight to catch up on television shows on my DVR. Around 10PM, I was utterly bored, so I went out to Chinatown to meet up with my cousin. A few beers later, I was watching a bunch of Chinamen, who got paid today, gather around a table to play Pai Gow. I had nary a clue what was going on but continued to watch.

Holy shit! These folks were flinging around $20s, $50s and $100s. It reminded me of an incident from college during freshmen year. My roommate was taking Sociology 101 and showed me an article that said "It is more natural for a Cantonese to gamble than it is for a baby to drink milk."

DOH!
