On the web site of the Ontario Problem Gambling Centre (OPGRC), you can find the following report “A D2 Antagonist Enhances the Rewarding and Priming Effects of a Gambling Episode in Pathological Gamblers”. It is an interesting and detailed paper on the effects of dopamine on gambling.

“In Gamblers, haloperidol [a dopamine antagonist that blocks a specific dopamine receptor, the D2 receptor] significantly increased self-reported rewarding effects of gambling, post-game priming of desire to gamble, facilitation of reading speed to Gambling words, and gambling-induced elevation in blood pressure. In Controls, haloperidol augmented gambling-induced elevation in blood pressure, but had no effect on other indices. The findings provide direct experimental evidence that the D2 substrate modulates gambling reinforcement in pathological gamblers.”

Question.

How do you get two ladies to swear?

Answer.

Simple. Get a third lady to shout “bingo”.

Johnny, a golfer from New York comes to Las Vegas for vacation.

He golfs all day and then gambles at night. One night, he has a lot of fun and drinks a little too much. The next day, he wakes up in a random hotel room. He looks to his left and realizes there is a woman next to him.

He looks right and sees a marriage certificate framed on the bed stand with his name on it (along with a name he doesn’t know). At that point, he realizes he might have made a mistake…

He says to her: “I don’t really remember last night, but did we get married?”

“Oh, yes” she responds, “It was so romantic”

He replies, “I believe in the sanctity of marriage and I willing to stand behind my commitment, but I should warn you, I’m a golfer and while you’ll see me in the evenings, during the daylight hours I’ll be out on the course”

She says, “I appreciate your honesty, so I should be honest too. I’m a hooker”

“That’s okay, just turn your clubface outward…”
