If you hit the jackpot, do you win an actual meal on your flight?

Attention Floridians: These are NOT voting machines.

LOL Annie. I can see that sign too.

Darn you Jeff Meyerson! I was going to send this in. Good one Annie and probably wouldn't be a bad thing for them to post at the machines.

WELCOME TO MIAMI!
1. Insert coin.
2. Pull handle.
3. Money deposits directly into pockets of local commissioners.
4. Repeat until you are broke.
5. Now you know how locals feel.

If you line up the three oranges, you actually win... a crate of real oranges.

Can't wait for the duty-free-buffet!

SO, they are giving the county manager
PERMISSION to
SEEK a
PERMIT to
APPLY for a
LICENSE.
So, we're talking next century for implementation, I guess.

"The county's proposal calls for slot machines beyond security checkpoints at the airport. Under the permit, the county would also have to agree to run quarter-horse races off site."
Hmmm...
"United 742, you are now number 1 to land on runway 270, immediately after the running of the 3:00 Dade County Stakes. Please turn right off of the active runway and beware of the horse manure."

And there will be a loan shark available 24/7 at the window on your right.

Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to announce a departure delay for Flight 2038 to Sandusky. Please remain in the boarding area. We will begin boarding once the captain has recovered his losses.

Meanie, I'm more worried about all the little old ladies that will have to be pried from the slot machines.
Next up: Bingo??

Slot machines at the airport? Surely you can't be serious.

Good flight number, Meanie. ;)

Braniff, clearly you've never been to Las Vegas' McCarran Airport.
I must say, though - it might keep the aisles clearer for those folks rushing through the terminal.
Posted by: Diva | July 02, 2009 at 03:06 PM
I can hear the pilot's overhead announcement now. "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Flight (insert flight number here). We will be cruising at an altitude of 30,000 feet and the odds are 5 to 1 that we will land safely. Thank you for flying with (insert airline name here)"

Diva's right - McCarren has slots everywhere.
And don't call me Shirley!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | July 02, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Oh, Shirley - you jest! ;)
Posted by: Diva | July 02, 2009 at 03:40 PM
"We will now begin seating rows black 14 through red 30."
Posted by: MartiniShark | July 02, 2009 at 04:48 PM
"People broken kneecaps will board first."
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | July 02, 2009 at 05:19 PM
Diva, I did know about McCarran. I was really just waiting to see how long it would take for someone to respond with "and don't call me Shirley!" Jeff did it in 40 minutes!
Posted by: Braniff | July 02, 2009 at 09:21 PM
People don't call me Shirley anyway.
