blowing your wad (at the slots) - an explanation

i had to have an unwitting gambler take that last picture for me - rule 2a.

a lady was sitting at a slot machine perpendicular to the gals in the photo. i couldn't find a spot to prop the camera. so, i asked her if she'd take my picture for me. to which she replied, "of, course."

so, i sat down between the two unsuspecting gamblers as she readied the camera. then she said, "okay, make a pouty face like my daughter."

confused, i asked, "i'm sorry?"

"she always makes this pouty face when she's just blown her wad... (at the slots)."

to which i replied, "huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! you just said..."

no, i didn't but i did think it.

instead i replied, "i'm not sure what that would look like, i don't think i know your daughter?"

"well, just make a pouty face."

so, i did. but she couldn't quite figure out my camera and the idea of making a pouty face like her daughter when she's just blown her wad, was a bit too much to bear. so, i started laughing.

thus, my jovial expression in the photo.

*here's a useless fact - i think that is only the second picture i've asked someone else to take. all the other times it's been me. either a straight shot, or by propping the camera and setting the timer.
