V, MSS sends out some strange offers. The last couple offers I got from them were for weekend dates only. Just the opposite of what you usually get. One was also quite sexist (bet your suprised I'd notice such a thing). It talked about a craps tournament for me along with a slot tournament for my wife. Maybe you can still get away with stuff like that in Vegas.

Jeff, Absolutely still happening here in Las Vegas. A lot! Same thing used to happen when Joe used to drink with me. Order a vodka & 7-up and a Bud. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the server would give Joe the Bud and me the mixed drink. NO dummy <g>! We would laugh every time.
Veronica and I also had some good conversation about sales people always saying something like, "Is your husband here?" Hah, another dummy! You want something, you better learn how to talk with ME. Otherwise, you get nothing <g>.
Jeff & Gail: That MSS craps tournament for the men/slot tournament for the women is too funny. They should be ashamed <g>.
I use my maiden name as my middle name in my busness and on my business cards, and many customers say "oh, so this is your husband's business?" Think again!
V, you wouldn't believe what went on in the 1960's. I was working in a management position in the exporting industry and Hal was struggling with a new retail business. I was making much more than Hal at the time. I went in to a local bank for a loan to buy a car. After I filled out the form, the loan officer said I should take it home for my husband to sign. I asked him if my husband applied for the loan, would I be required to sign. He said "of course not". Well, at that time I told him what he could do with his loan. Unfortunately, the only way I could get the car was if Hal got the loan. Talk about sexism!
