I was so fascinated with it and my brother wanted to bet but my Dad wouldn't let him (he would have lost !!!). I saw it many years later when we were travelling and was fascinated again to watch them scam money from unsuspecting tourists trying to make a quick buck !<br />Thanks again for the memory jog !<br />Have a great day !<br />Me<br />Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-55740025410153599212012-10-04T18:11:11.382-04:002012-10-04T18:11:11.382-04:00Everything is a trade off.
