It looks like Floridians need a remedial course on appropriate reasons to call 911. We are going with a two for one special here in Floridians Are Crazy #23.

Reginald Peterson, 42, here called the cops twice to complain about the service he was getting from the sandwich artists at his local Subway. Apparently the sandwich artist forgot to put some kind of sauce on the two spicy italian sandwiches that Mr. Peterson had ordered. Peterson was hoping that the cops would respond to his calls and force the poor guy behind the counter to make the sandwichs up to his “specifications”. The cops showed, but instead of helping Peterson out of his sandwich jam they put him in a new jam by arresting him for making false 911 calls. Dude, the spicy italian is on the $5 footlong menu. Just be happy about the cheap sandwich and chill the fuck out.

Most of us are familar with the basic operation of a slot machine. You drop your money in, pull the lever and nothing comes out. Well it appears that Carlos Gutierrez, 47, was a little foggy on the whole procedure. Carlos called the fuzz from inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, FL to report that a slot machine had stolen his money. One call wasn’t enough. Once Carlos left the casino he called again and this time the fuzz showed up and just like in Mr. Peterson’s case they arrested Gutierrez for making false 911 calls. I really want to know how much money Carlos lost in the slot machine. I would hope that it would at least be triple digits to warrant the calls to 911 but I have a feeling we are probably talking low double digits.

I know that we are a day late and that every site on the web has done some kind of post about the 3G iPhone but I think we would be remiss if we didn’t post something about it. I am not going to burn through a bunch or words describing the features. We all know about the built-in GPS, 3G connectivity, improved battery life, App Store and the renamed .mac service mobileme.

Basically I wanted to do two things with this post. First I wanted to say that I don’t yet have a full fledged iBoner but I’m definitely rolling with an iChubby. I am not going to switch providers and sign a contract with AT&T so I will have to wait for the geniuses to do their work and crack this new iPhone before I pick one up. Second, I wanted to point out that in the post I wrote last week about Bodog offering lines on what would be announced at WWDC I chose the winning bet.

I think the best looking bet is the “Will Apple announce a “thin” iPhone? “ paying out +150 on the “No”.

While the iPhone 3G is “thinner at the edges” Apple definitely did not announce a dedicated “thin” iPhone. It would be a whole lot cooler if I had had the balls to actually put some money on that line but I will just settle for being right.

Already got money set aside for that 3G iPhone that you think Apple is going to announce at the WWDC on June 9th? Why don’t you put that money on the line and see if you can pay for your new iPhone with your confidence instead of your hard earned cash. I think the best looking bet is the “Will Apple announce a “thin” iPhone? “ paying out +150 on the “No”. Rumors have run rampant on both sides of the thin issue. Some say the 3G version will be thinner and others say that it will be slightly thicker. I think Apple will announce 3G and more features in the same size packaging.

• Will Apple announce a 32GB iPhone? With “Yes” paying -300 and “No” paying +200.
• Will Apple announce a “thin” iPhone? With “Yes” paying -200 and “No” paying +150.
• Will Apple announce a 3G iPhone? With “Yes” paying -500 and “No” paying +300.
• Will Apple announce a 32GB, 3G, “thin” iPhone? With “Yes” paying -130 and “No” paying -120.
• Will Apple’s stock (APPL) close higher or lower than its opening value on June 9? “Higher” pays -200 and “Lower” pays +150.

The following will be remedial for most Tasty Boozers but if these gambling lines don’t make sense to you here is a quick explanation.

The minus is the favorite and the plus is the underdog. So, taking the first bet as an example -300 means that you pay $3 to win $1 on the other side the +200 means that you pay $1 to win $2. If you bet $100 on the -300 your pay out would be about $133.33 (original $100 + $33.33 in winnings). If you bet $100 on the +200 your payout would be $300 (original $100 + $200 in winnings).
