A man was walking along a lonely beach. Suddenly he heard a deep voice commands, ‘Dig.’

He looks around: but there’s nobody's about. I am having hallucinations, he thinks. Then he hears the voice again: ‘I said, dig.’

So he starts to dig in the sand with his bare hands, and after some inches, he finds a small chest with a rusty lock.

The deep voice says: ‘Open.’

The man finds a rock  and smashes the lock,. When the chest is finally open, he sees a huge hoard of gold coins.

The deep voice says: ‘Go to the casino’

The man jumps in his car and drives the few miles to the nearest casino.

The deep voice says: ‘Roulette.’

So he changes all the gold into a huge pile of roulette tokens and goes to one of the tables, where the players gaze at him with disbelief.

The deep voice says: ‘42’

The man places the whole lot on number 42. The roulette table nearly erupts with excitement. Everybody is quiet when the croupier throws the ball.

The ball spins round and around and around then eventually stops on number 41.

‘SHIT!’ snapped the deep voice.
