I do get a kick when OTB and Stores selling Lotto's who post Gamblers Anonymous signs
I had a friend who's son had a gambling addiction, and I went to a few GA meetings with her.
If you heard the stories of how many individual lives and families were destroyed by it, I doubt anyone could find humor in it!
I was surprised to find out that if one had the addiction, and wanted to recover,
it was recommended they avoid playing the stock market!
