Ned was down on his luck in Las Vegas. He had gambled away all his money and
had to borrow a dime from another gambler just to use the men's room. The stall
happened to be open, so he used the dime in a slot machine and hit the jackpot.
He took his winnings and went to the blackjack table and turned his small
winnings into ten million dollars.
Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Ned went on the lecture circuit, where he
told his incredible story.
He told his audiences that he was eternally grateful to his benefactor, and if
he ever found the man he would share his fortune with him. After months of
lectures, a man in the audience jumped up and said,
"I'm that man. I was in Vegas in 1992. I was the one who gave you the dime."
"You're not the one I'm looking for. I'm looking for the guy who left the stall
door open!" |
