Seraphina's Stand-Up Reel

🎭

"So I went to this fancy casino called 'The System'..."

"The roulette wheel only had two colors: Corporate Green and Government Blue."

"I asked the dealer, 'Where's Community?' He said, 'That table's been closed for maintenance since 1980.'"

"The house always wins because the house IS the players!"

"Trust? In this economy? That's the real joke!"
