Karen, a Midwestern housewife, took her first trip to Las Vegas a few
years ago. She had done very well playing the slot machines, winning
a bucket full of quarters. Karen needed a break and she left the casino
heading toward the elevators, taking her bucket with her. She steps into
the elevator and before the doors shut, three beefy and one slender,
leather-clad African-American men step in. Karen (never having spent
much time with African Americans) clutches her bucket close to her
chest. One of the men says, "Hit the floor, lady," and she does: quarters
fly everywhere. The men bust up laughing and they help Karen collect
her winnings. One of the men explains that he meant for her to select
her floor. They help her collect her quarters and the elevator arrives at
her floor. She leaves embarrassed, and the men are still laughing. Later
that evening, a dozen roses are delivered to Karen's room. There is a
one hundred-dollar bill attached to each rose. The note attached read:
"Thank you for the best laugh I've had in years!" - Eddie Murphy
