T'was The Day Before Christmas! (Russian that is)

      Twas the day before Christmas.
      And talk about luck.
      My buddy and his wife,
      Just got a new truck!
      But that's not the half of it!!!!!!!
      First you should know that, in my
     buddy's case. getting a new truck is
     NOT very big news!
       We used to think he got one every
     time his ash tray filled. But he
     doesn't smoke!
        Chevrolet pick ups are, to him, something
     like the "Energizer Bunny!" Except in his
     case they just keep "coming and coming!"
         And his latest came on Russian Christmas
     Eve!
         A celebration seemed in order so we
     decided to go out for pizza.
         But here's the thing. One of our favorite
     pizza places is just outside Port Jervis, New
    York!
         I know! Some of you are thinking there are
     plenty of good pizza joints a little closer than
     that. But, heck, the new truck has to rack up
    500 miles before it's officially "broken in". So,
    we figured, why not get started!
         Of course "break in rules" require somewhat
    slower speeds than most people drive on the
    Interstates. So we followed the rules and watched
    as everything from old VW's to Double Tractor
    Trailers whizzed by.
          After dinner we made our traditional stop at
     a "Dollar Store" near the restaurant.
           Real "cheapies"...right?
           Well if that's what you're thinking consider
     the fact that our next stop, by unanimous
     consent, was the "Mighty M Gaming Casino"
     in Monticello, New York!
             "Russian Christmas Eve" seemed like a
     lucky day! And boy.....did that turn out to be
     true!
              With the fresh smell of a new car filling
     his lungs my buddy hit the slots and came out
    a winner!
               His wife was at the right machine at the
     right time and won a nice monetary prize
     awarded every hour to some lucky player.
               The Casino was a big winner too!
               It won all the money my wife and I
     put into the machines we were playing!
               Next time I'm buying the truck!!!!!!!!
               And so I exclaimed as we drove out
     of sight........"How come you guys won all
     the money tonight!"
                Merry Russian Christmas and may all
     your NEWS be good!
