Should I Be Insulted
I am involved in our shul's first casino night. I feel conflicted about having a Casino night, and don't feel that it is the right type of event for an orthodox shul, but the rabbi gave the event his blessings, and they are going to go along with it regardless of what i think. Anyway, i was asked to help, and I did the invitations and signs, which came out looking grreat.
This morning, though, I received this e-mail.
"Would you run the roulette game on Casino Night? We just think you'd look good doing it. Also, I mentioned in an earlier email that we need signs. Can you do it?"
What exactly does it mean that I would "look good" doing the roulette table. Do they think that
A) I can't deal cards?
B) Fat guys are great at roulette?
C) Fat guys look good spinning the wheel?
D) Unshaven, unkempt guys in jeans and a t-shirt belong behind the roulette table, since no one is looking at the roulette wheel spinner
It also brings into focus several other questions
A) Does the fact that she thinks I will look good doing this mean I have a chance with her?
B) Even though I am not really into the woman who sent me the e-mail, there must have been a discussion with some of the other women on the panel, all of whom must have come to a consensus that I will look good on that evening. And so who are the rest of these women on the panel who are clearly into me as a roulette wheel spinner?
I should also mention that spinning the roulette wheel will be like a dream come true for me.
Its just too bad that i need to be turned into a piece of man-meat to have the privelege.

I think she's into you.
I do too, and I say slap on the after-shave that night and see where it goes!
I can't really say that I have a clue what look good behind a wheel says... its sounds reminiscent of used car salesman techniques, maybe that's just me. On a different note, things like this make me realize how much I underappreciated my kehilot back in the states with their lack of gambling-esque activities. Thanks.
