Irony is a funny thing. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. It's the master of trickery. It laughs when you fall for it, and bows in honor to you if you don't. It's a double meaning, read between the lines, contradictory kind of thing...
What does a thumbs up mean to you? Is it good job, or good luck? Maybe it was that odd coworker that you never talked to that gave you a thumbs up before you went in to a meeting with your boss... Did that bode well for you, or not? Can you decide?...
How about the middle finger? Most will say the birdy is not your friend, but I've seen friends use it with each other as a way to say, "Shut up! You beat me ok! Don't have to rub it in my face!" But they also use it to say, "SUCKER!!"...
My question to you is: What do these two fingers mean to you? Because you'll have to ask yourself that as you head to the Mini-Strip in Laughlin, NV.
Next time you go to Laughlin take the scenic route. Start in Kingman, AZ and drive to Bullhead City before crossing the bridge into Nevada. US Highway 68 has beautiful desert surroundings and is relatively a short drive. The little treasure on this journey can be easily missed if you don't keep your eyes peeled. It's a funny little rock formation off the side of the road. It gives you a thumbs up as you head toward the miniature gambling paradise. Most people over spend, gamble more than they brought, get dehydrated, and burn to a crisp. So be smart, learn when to stop, always have a drink, and the dry heat sucks so moisturize often. That way, you can laugh when you leave. You can mimic the rock formation as you head out of town, while it says, "Shut up! You beat me ok! You don't have to rub it in my face!" You can say, "SUCKER!!" Just like old friends, and visit again sometime.
