Janitor to Table 9!
"Chucky" ran off the tournament floor as soon as his stomach convulsions ceased. Upon returning five minutes later, one of the other players at the table said, "Welcome back! Did you wash your hands?"
"Obviously not," said Chucky. "I guess I should."
"We would appreciate that," remarked Terrence Chan as he suspiciously eyed Chucky's hands and chips. "We'll wait the hand for you."
Meanwhile, a member of the tournament staff disappeared into the kitchen of the nearby players buffet to search for a bucket. He returned with two large plastic cups to see Chucky slumped over his table.
"All players in the Main Event," began the floor as he picked up a microphone and turned it on. "Please wake up. We need you awake to play. Including Table 9."
He then brought the cups over to the table, placed them in front of Chucky and got back on the microphone. "This is an official warning for a chucker on Table 9. This is not cricket. On the next chuck he gets a round."
Next break in 45 minutes, Chucky!
