A blackjack dealer in Nevada was famous for his predilection for wearing fancy cowboy boots, tucking his pants in the tops of the boots in order to show them off. One day he got the bright idea of dropping a silver dollar into his boot every so often. He continued receiving his "bonus", adding a few more dollars at a time, until the day that he put so many silver dollars in his boots that at the end of his shift he was unable to walk anywhere. Finally he was able to budge a foot, but fell over and spilled silver dollars all over the floor of the casino, helplessly trapped by his weighted boots, as a crowd collected around him.
