Fruit machines a slight detour of the mind
Apr 30th, 2009 at 9:01pm
 
Sitting watching the TV the other day my mind wandered; (as it does) it happened when an advert came on about online betting and the fruit machine dials spun.
Where do they get the names for these things?
This prompted me to do a little research,
There is a little known fact about Dick Turpin; he had a young brother, lovingly known as little Dick, this poor soul had been shot when in a heist with his big brother, unfortunately for little Dick the said wound turned septic and he had to have his arm removed which you could say left him harmless, but it didn’t, he carried on after the demise of big Dick and his notoriety followed him, it was then when they coined the phrase the one armed bandit and its still in use today.
Don’t you agree they’re little robbing Bast…’s

I reckon that’s where this swine flu’s come from, all these pigs standing in line hoping for a quick win on the old slot machines, sniffing and a snorting and they aren’t the most hygienic and you can bet they don’t clean their trotters.
