Gambling in Vegas
Martin is having a tough time in Las Vegas. Eventually, he gambles away all of his money and has to borrow a quarter from another gambler, just to use the men's room.
He finds a stall that happens to be open and pockets the quarter.
Believing that his luck has finally changed, he puts the quarter in a slot machine and hits the jackpot.
He takes his winnings and goes to the blackjack table and turns his modest winnings into a million dollars.
Soon, with a little smart money management, Martin is wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, and goes on the lecture circuit, where he tells his incredible story.
At the end of every lecture he tells his audiences that he will always be grateful to his benefactor, and if he ever finds the man he will share his fortune with him.
After months of speaking, a man in the audience jumps up and says, "I'm that man. I was the one who gave you the quarter."
Martin peers at him from the stage and says, "Yes, I remember you, but you aren't the one I'm looking for. I was talking about the guy who left the stall door open."
