Eskimos never gamble...
WELCOME BACK!!! I find this little idiom of information simply iglooistic...I am curious though...because if this is true...I wonder what happened between the Bering Strait and the Continental United States...because if memory about human migratory patterns in the early years...then the Eskimos were the front runners for the Native American Indian...and those people gamble on everything...have been for Centuries...they gambled and lost with the Pilgrims...who pushed them back off the East Coast...they gambled and lost with the United States Army...(Custer aside)...they gambled and lost with several cowboys...now they no longer gamble...they just build casinos and take all of your hard earned money...tax free...ya know why Eskimos don't gamble...because NOBODY would vacation at an Ice Casino...it's too damn cold...you'd have pantless old grannies fallin' off their slot machine stools and freezin to the floor...it would be a public relations disaster...who wants to go stumble over a buncha former blue haired...bingo bumpkins...kinda hard to find a target audience for that little advertising campaign don'tcha think... besides what are you gonna gamble with...ice chips...whale flubber...and baby seal pelts...this little tidbit is actually very very misleading...it's missing some very important information...it is an unfinished thought process...what it should say is...Eskimos never gamble...with money...because here's the thing...when you live in an area that 99.999999% of the world's population wouldn't even consider getting lost in...and you have to hunt and fish things from the ocean in little wooden outrigger canoes...during the specific seasons of the year when under ice...aquatic delicacies...become available...you're ass is gamblin' with a helluvalot more than money...each and every day you survive...you gamble every time you fall asleep...cuz who knows when that little ice hut is gonna melt along with all the other glaciers and shit during this whole global warming incident...I mean seriously these people gamble more on a daily basis then most people do in a lifetime...they don't live in the land of the internet...some of their relatives might but true Eskimos still send mail the old fashioned way...unsuccessfully...because NOBODY wants that job either...I can't even imagine waking up every damn morning and knowing it wasn't gonna get any warmer...just somewhat brighter from time to time when the sun pokes through...and a lot of these Eskimo people gamble by traveling to and from their distant villages to mainstream America...watch Alaska State Troopers every once in awhile...there are several 'dry' villages in the upper reaches of Alaska where alcohol is illegal...possession of it gets you a mandatory 30 day jail sentence...and thousands of dollars in fines...the black market for alcohol makes several of them gamble with trying to bring alcohol back to the village...a $15.00 bottle of booze fetches between $350. and $450 a bottle...that's a risk some of them feel is worth taking...one successful trip with a loaded duffle bag can net almost $30,000.00...(yeah...me too...been thinkin' about bootleggin' through Alaska for a couple months now...thanks to DirectTV I've gathered enough research material to know not to try and fly into these villages...and since they cannot be driven to by vehicle...one must use a sled...dogsled...four wheeler or hitch a ride with Pat & Ben...pat your feet and ben you knees...but for that kinda money...I'm thinkin' I'll drag a few duffle bags up there ans find a place to hang out for the night...I'll be the Bill Gates of the Bering Strait...hell Milk alone sells for $13 a gallon...think I'd find a way to raise a few cows...I'm tellin' ya folks...there isn't a bigger buncha gamblin' sonsabitches livin' on frozen seas...they may not pull a lever or check a bet...but when your closest neighbor is a Polar Bear...you can bet your ass there's a gamble being played!!!
