New England Tour
August, 2010 - Master Po and Mrs. Po take group tour to New England.
This great trip, and wisely Master Po read over itinerary before we depart. This is good because Master Po not normally like to read. He discover that there will be some opportunities to gamble at Mohegan Indian Reservation in Connecticut. He pack 60 dollar worth of quarters in 10 dollar rolls and take to casino. He forget to wear belt in his shorts and quarters are very heavy. {120 in each side pocket} He have to put hands in pockets to walk to buffet to keep his pants up. It is difficult to carry food, plates, beverages, etc. back to table when hands are in pockets. So he in not so good mood cause he have trouble making customary 48 trips through buffet line.
He skip desert entirely - not normal for Master Po.
After eating much good food, pants still not stay up very well. And he learn he not read brochure very good either – casino bank not take coins. So he get sent away from black jack table and told to go to other end of huge reservation to get bills for quarters. After many stops, and many stares from workers and patrons, he finally find teller at window many prairies away. She must feel sorry for Master Po, because she take coins and give him bills, and not even look inside rolls. I guess she figure this guy must be for real. She said she trust Master Po – she good squaw for sure. [Of course Master Po is on video cameras throughout whole area - if he give them wrong coins, they will come after him like braves of Sitting Bull come after General Custer]
He take bills to other bank window and exchange for tokens. He not know all this before trip. But he have good time playing black jack, as lady named Eileen show Master Po how to play. [how to play, not how to win]. He not have to worry about returning to window to exchange tokens back for cash.
When leaving motel room later, Master Po take all shampoo, body lotion, mouth wash and hair rinse bottles in his suit case. Master Po want to keep reputation as "Cheap Po" and he not want to hurt feelings of hospitality gesture of motel management. These bottles are very small, and print on bottles is smaller yet. Master Po not see print well, and see color of fluids even worse.
This past Tuesday, Master Po take small bottle of mouth wash with him to dentist in Richland, just outside of Johnstown - he need crown repair, but it not have much to do with royalty. He not want to go into dentist chair with bad breath, so he take mouthfull of mouthwash about a mile and a half from office. After taking liquid in mouth, Master Po notice more sudsing than usual, and then he realize, he washing mouth out with shampoo. When he get to office, he spit out many suds in mulch by Rhododendron bushes. He hope no one see, but is afraid to look up and check surroundings. He then wonder if breath smell like shampoo, but he not bring up story to dentist or technicians. Feel free to give Master Po hug next time you see him, and do comment on how clean his teeth look.
