As we sat around in the cruise ship, Timmy said that he was going to go to the casino, lose fifty bucks, and go to bed.

He came back about 20-30 minutes later, looking a bit pokerfaced. He announced that he had won a bunch of money. Not “quit your job and buy a few yachts and mansions” money but “pay for the cruise and still have change” money.

A few minutes later, Bob showed up. I asked him if he’d heard about Timmy. I was trying to not steal Bob’s thunder so I was doing my own pokerfaced thing. Bob asked “Wadaya mean?”

“Go ask Timmy” I said.

So Bob went over to talk with Billy and came back a couple minutes later.

“What the heck?” Apparently, Bob had thought that I’d meant that Billy had some really bad news because I looked so serious.

I’ve told this to a few folks. So far, they’ve questioned why Bob assumed a dire situation with Timmy.

I guess I’ve got mean poker face.
