Nothing But the Best (album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The Rat Pack wanders into a modern Vegas casino. The first thing greeting them is the juice bar. Juice bar, what in the world is that? Oh great, Juice and fruit plate all day.
The special of the day was Wheatgrass. Joey Bishop looked in horror. ”My God, they are serving the turf from Dodger Stadium.”
They went to have lunch at the small bar that was left. Frank Sinatra looked at their waiter, whose name was Adrian, with a flair,
“We don’t serve steak and potatoes any more. We have a wonderful salmon garni.” The dishes come as just a dollop. Frank Sinatra explodes. ”Thirty fuckin dollars for this? Where’s your manager?”
The three young ladies at the bar were looking, but not to flirt. ”Creeps, Cave men in suits,” one muttered.
The manager came out with security. ”Gentlemen, you have to leave.”
“We’ve been thrown outta better joints and we built Vegas.”
“Not your Vegas any more.”
