    When I go to the track, I sometimes take my program, roll it up in a tight wad, get up on my chair, start waving the program like a whip and pretend I am the jockey bringing the horse home.

  4. Isn't that kind of high for a favorite? I've never bet on horses,
    but I always thought the favorite paid a lot less. You know,
    something like putting up 2 dollars to make a dollar.

    Maybe I should have prefaced the statement with, "In my un-grounded, un-scientific opinion.

    But I mean, just read that quoted chat transcript.. Jeez, louise!

    Actually, a more interesting question is why anybody is in there following somebody else's trades in the first place.
