I'm going home today and trying to finish off. Let's start up where I left off. So Uncle Billy, after he finished that rant about roulette, made me twice as nervous as I was before about the game. But certainly didn't hurt with all the free drinks around. We played this game with them with the waitresses trying to figure out how many different kinds of drinks they know. I'm sure enough they got that just fine. I mean, basically you were. Bet non-waitresses and their knowledge drinks. The next one came up and I just blurred it out. I have a revolution number nine. And sure enough, there was a drop of revolution number nine. Billy was just saying that I had one of those more experienced ones who just brought you whatever drinks you want. Maybe she saw that I was already drunk. But I didn't mind with it. Now, when we each round, the winner didn't have to play around a roulette. But if you did win, you had to then try your bet. Put your winnings into roulette. Well, for some reason, I kept... I was on a streak. I had never had a streak before, but I was on a winning streak. I don't know how I could do it. I was just doing it. The next thing I did was to... Well, that was actually Billy's idea. He told me, okay Adam, once you'd understand why I brought you here. Well, let's back up here. See, Adam has to wake up not remembering what happened the night before. So he has to cut the reader off in the midst of his description. The looks are hotel and the casino floor and Vegas and all that. And he has to suddenly wake up in a church in London. And... Well, he's not going to remember it that much. He made a bet with Uncle Billy. And Uncle Billy told him he had to do. If you lose this bet, you have to get on the next flight to London. And sure enough, that's what he did. Now, what made him feel like he could win a bet or take his chances. That would send him across the world on a one-way ticket. And maybe they just got so drunk and they kept doing it over and over again. And they bought the ticket. They bought a one-way ticket. But they're running. And they got there. He didn't know where the hell he was. I don't think so. I can't think straight.
