This reminds me of the age old question ‘If a tree falls in the forest … does it really make a sound?’
This is one of those anecdotes that was genuinely hysterical in the moment - but it might not translate well in this format. My buddies and I go to an annual business meeting together in Vega$. It’s always a time to take whatever room upgrade they’re offering at check-in, order the nice whisky, order the nice steak. We used to always make charitable contributions to all the young, single pre-med/pre-law students working their way through UNLV - but somewhere a few years back, the novelty wore off of that experience, so now its just the fine steak dinner and cocktails / war stories in the lounge after dinner.
So there we are at the cocktail lounge at Wynn and this poor dude with ZERO game is sitting happily living his best life next to an absolute KNOCK-OUT ‘pro’ companion. She’s a strait up 10/10 by anyone’s standard. I don’t begrudge the guy … I kind of envy him. I say to my buddies: “why the F do you pay for THAT and sit around down here in the lounge? I’d be upstairs faster than you could say BOO!” And my buddy replies: “If a tree falls in the forest… everyone seeing him sitting here with her is a MAJOR part of what he is paying for.” Absolutely hilarious and spot on.
“I don’t hire pros often - but when I do, I sit here in the cocktail lounge for a good long while and let EVERYONE get an eyeful!!”
