VFW Poker Run, Missouri

  •  

    There we were, sitting at a bar, one stop away from the final card for our charity poker run game. It would take us 10-15 minutes to ride to the Hannibal VFW to finish the poker run.  We were about to leave when a crowd of people show up.  A guy we remember as “Mario Andretti” was first to the bar.  Mario sat beside Brad and ordered two double shots of something. Brad introduces himself and makes small talk about the double shots.  Mario declared that the crowd that invaded the small bar was on the bus from the poker run.  Mario downed his two drinks rather quickly and ordered another one.  Somehow during Brad’s small talk, I heard Mario challenge us to a race.  As it turns out, Mario was on the poker run too.  He was headed to draw his final card just as we were.  Brad and I think there are two routes directly to the finish. So we inquire as to what type of motorcycle Mario was riding and which route he’d take to beat us in a race.  To our surprise Mario declared he was driving the big yellow school bus and he’d still beat us racing back!  Whoa! We need to slow this down and make sure everyone makes it to the finish line safely.
