Your mouth is dry. Wait, your mouth is //very// dry. You open your eyes to see faint sunlight creeping through your blinds. You reach towards your water bottle, only to realize that it's compltely empty. The questions "//Have I overslept//?", "//Will I get fired today//?", and "//Why do I smell like cigarette smoke//" dance through your head as you contemplate beginning your morning routine. You glance at the alarm clock: 8:15 AM. That's anti-work time.

"//What did I do last night//?"

Then it hits you a like a padlock thrown at your head from fifteen feet: It's Saturday. Take a deep breath. Laugh at your luck. Lay back down. When you awake again it's 10:30 AM. Pieces of last night start putting themselves together in your head. "//I// //went to the casino...hmmm...how did I do//?". You check your money clip: Empty//. "Good thing I only brought $40 with me//". You check your pockets from last night, looking for any other evidence from the previous evening. You find a cashier's check for $8,000 from St. Croix Casino. You shake a few more cobwebs out of your head and remember being at the craps table for awhile//. "Wait, we were at that table for about five hours. Really? Did I really take the casino for eight grand//?" You check your phone for messages and there is a text from your friend Nick: "Dude, last night was insane. I think I made 5 grand from your run at the table". Son of a beekeeper, you hit it big! You immediately decide to spend the money ASAP and in a semi-foolish manner. After all, it's pretty much found money. After considering a few flights of fancy you eventually settle on two options, both of which involve motorcycles: Purchase a brand-new cruiser for the full $8,000, or spend $2,000 on a used bike and use the remainder to head to Hawaii. The choice is yours:

Purchase the new cruiser

Purchase the used bike and take a Hawaiian vacation
