  • When the collection plate is passed around in Las Vegas, worshippers can put in casino chips. Chips from all of the city’s churches are then collected and transported to a Franciscan monastery outside of town for sorting.

    They are then returned to the various casinos to be cashed in.

    The chip monks are in charge of this.
  • A gambler confided in a friend at the bar, “I had a terrible day of betting today. I lost nine of nine college football games, five of five baseball games, and seven of seven hockey games.”
