Old Gambling Joke

Stop me if you've heard this one....

A gambler meets a friend of his on the street. "Man, can you help me out? They're about to shut off my electricity, the rent is past due, and there is no food in the house for my hungry family."

His friend tells him, "Sure I'd be glad to help. Let me go to the bank and I'll bring over the money tonight."

The gambler responds, "Uh, tonight is not so good. I'm playing in a high stakes poker game. Can you bring me the money in the morning?"

His friend is puzzled, "Dude, you're down and out. How are you going to play in a high stakes poker game?"

The gambler replies, "Oh, I've got money for THAT"

Little Tommy was the quietest boy in school. He never answered any questions but his homework was always quite excellent. If any one said anything to him he would simply nod, or shake his head. The staff thought he was shy and decided to do something to give him confidence. "Tommy," said his teacher. "I've just bet Miss Smith $5 I can get you to say three words. You can have half." Tommy looked at her pityingly and said, "You lose."
