Summary: 

This one is supposed to be real - *honest*!

An attractive girl finished her conference in Las Vegas early and decided
to go gambling.  So she decked herself out and hit the casino.  She drank
and drank and won and won [it never works for me! :-)] until
she'd had enough that night, and cashed it all in.  Walking up to the
elevator she began thinking of all the money she was carrying and started
worrying about getting mugged.

The elevator door slides open to reveal an empty elevator, *except* for
a large man wearing a stocking cap and dark glasses, and the biggest dog she'd
ever seen.  Stepping aboard hesitatingly, her life flashes before her eyes
as the doors close.  Suddenly, the man says "Down, lady!".

What could she do?  She hit the floor.  After a few tense seconds, the man had
said nothing else, and she realized that, well, of course, he had been
talking to his dog.  What could she do?  She waited until the elevator opened
at her floor, and crawled out.


The rest of her stay went quietly and comfortably, and as she was checking
out, the cashier informed her to her surprise that her bill had been paid in
full.  As she was deciding whether to argue, he said, "But there's a note
for you."  It read:

	Thanks for one of the funniest moments of my life.
