Self Deception

When I find myself in a shitty situation, when living through the next day seems impossible, I tell myself this:

Life doesn't give you what you want, it gives you what you need.

Of course, the tough part, is forcing myself to believe it.

Joke time!

Not sure if it was the previous joke that was told that made this joke extra funny, but today I laughed so hard at this one I teared up.

A guy is at work when he hears a voice in his head.

"Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money, and go to Las Vegas"

He ignores the voice, but it keeps coming back.

"Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money, and go to Las Vegas"

Months go by, and the voice won't stop.

"Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money, and go to Las Vegas"

Finally the guy can't take it anymore. He quits his job. He sells his house. He takes all the money and buys a plane ticket to Las Vegas.

The second the plane touches down, he hears the voice in his head:

"Go to a casino"

He goes to a casino.

"Find the roulette table"

He finds the roulette table.

"Put everything on 17 Black"

He puts everything on 17 Black.

The dealer spins the wheel. It comes up Red 36.

The voice in his head says..

"Fuck."
