[size=large]ELSON WAS SITTING AT THE AIRPORT, WAITING FOR HIS FLIGHT TO VEGAS .
HE LOOKED OVER IN THE CORNER AND SAW ONE OF THOSE WEIGHT MACHINES THAT TELLS YOUR FORTUNE AND THOUGHT TO HIMSELF, 'I'LL GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE WHAT IT TELLS ME..'
HE WENT OVER TO THE MACHINE, STEPPED UP ON THE SCALE AND PUT HIS NICKEL IN, OUT CAME A CARD THAT READ, 'YOU ARE A VETERAN, YOU WEIGH 190 LBS, AND YOU ARE GOING TO VEGAS ...'
HE SAT BACK DOWN.
HE TOLD HIMSELF THAT THE MACHINE PROBABLY GIVES THE SAME CARD TO EVERYONE.
THE MORE HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT THE MORE CURIOUS HE GOT SO HE DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, HE WENT BACK TO THE MACHINE AND AGAIN PUT HIS NICKEL IN, AND OUT CAME A CARD THAT READ:
'YOU ARE A VETERAN, YOU WEIGH 190LBS, YOU ARE GOING TO VEGAS AND YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY A FIDDLE.'
NOW HE SAYS TO HIMSELF, 'I KNOW THAT IS WRONG, I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT EVEN ONCE IN MY LIFE.' HE SAT BACK DOWN.
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE A COWBOY CAME OVER AND SAT DOWN, PUTTING HIS FIDDLE CASE ON THE SEAT BETWEEN THEM.WITHOUT THINKING, ELSON OPENED THE COWBOY'S CASE, TOOK OUT THE FIDDLE, AND STARTED PLAYING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
SURPRISED AT WHAT HE HAD DONE, HE LOOKED OVER AT THE MACHINE, THINKING,
'THIS IS INCREDIBLE, I'VE GOT TO TRY THIS AGAIN.'
BACK TO THE MACHINE HE WENT, PUT IN ANOTHER NICKEL, AND ANOTHER CARD CAME OUT. IT READ, 'YOU ARE A VETERAN, YOU WEIGH 190 LBS , YOU ARE GOING TO VEGAS AND YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK WIND.' NOW HE KNOWS THE MACHINE IS WRONG, AS HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF, 'I'VE NEVER BROKEN WIND IN PUBLIC A SINGLE TIME IN MY LIFE.' BUT GETTING DOWN OFF THE MACHINE HE SLIPPED,AND AS HE WAS STRAINING TO KEEP HIMSELF FROM FALLING TO THE FLOOR, HE BROKE WIND.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNED, HE SAT BACK DOWN AND LOOKED AT THE MACHINE. HE SAID TO HIMSELF, 'THIS IS TRULY REMARKABLE. I'VE GOT TO TRY THIS AGAIN.'HE WENT BACK TO THE MACHINE,PUT IN ANOTHER NICKEL AND ANOTHER CARD CAME OUT.
IT READ, 'YOU ARE A VETERAN, YOU WEIGH 190 LBS, YOU HAVE FIDDLED AND FARTED AROUND AND MISSED YOUR FLIGHT TO VEGAS.
