“Napoleon, why do you continue to play this slot machine?”

“Because it’s hot.  Look how much money I have taken out of it.”

“Slot machines spin based on a mathematical formula, Napoleon.  There is no such thing as a ‘hot machine.’

“Whatever you say, Partner Mine.”

“I am not making this up, Napoleon!  I can show you articles…”

“And, I can show you the buckets of coins I have extracted from this machine.  Do me a favor.”

“Sure.”

“Take those two buckets of quarters to the cashier’s window.”

“Oof!  They weigh a ton!”

“The machine is hot, Tovarisch!  Hot machine!”
