Man Jewelry Valet
Q.I was roaming around the Horseshoe in Vegas last weekend, trying to find a space to play at the crap tables. I had an unlit, though partially smoked cigar in my mouth. I walked up to the one table with room, and this fat slob of a boxman looked up at me and remarked "Oh, Jesus," with a wicked smirk on his face. Since he otherwise had never seen my face, I assumed he disapproved of my unlit cigar, and rudely let me know about it. Just a lesson to all you cigar smokers--sometimes you have to pay a price. My wife walked up and I told her the story in a loud enough voice for everyone to hear, in hopes of exposing the A-hole for the rude cuss he was. SHE, on the other hand, applauded his rudeness since she hates 'em too. So He breaks out in this belly laugh. I would say that I got the raw end of the deal from every direction possible. Any comments???
A.You should have asked him directly if he had a problem or if the casino prohibited it. If he can make a damn remark or a face, he should be man enough to back it up. If the property had a policy on it, he should've done his job and said so. If he had a personal problem with it, again he could have said so or choked on his problem. Sounds like a punk. Only in one or two rare occasions has anyone ever had a look of sheer terror at my holding an unlit cigar. Maybe each of those times I was told cigar smoking wasn't allowed. At which point I thrust the docile specimen right up to their face and smile and say, now what? A little episode: once about four years or so ago at the Belz Factory Outlets, I was browsing one of the jewelry stores. We were working our way towards the exit to head back to the car. I took a cigar from my case as my friend ducked into the jewelry store. Having left my matches in the car, I stopped at a little kiosk that sold cigarettes and asked for some matches. I could see my friend in the jewelry store and stepped inside to wait. One of the clerks said hello to me and then happened to notice the cigar in my hand. She quickly assured herself that since you saw no smoke, couldn't smell anything, and the way I was holding it that it wasn't lit. She couldn't leave well enough alone and says/ask me "you couldn't have bought *that* anywhere in this mall, could you? Because this is a no-smoking building." I just more or less looked through her and said, "I am not smoking" as I gave passing glances at the displays of gems and yawned before we left. Wrote it off as just a nothing little woman with nothing else to do or say but sweat the sight a cigar.
