Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Where did the exclamation, "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" come from?
Question:I have heard DJ's say it on the radio when the caller wins a prize. I'm thinking Moulon Rouge....that one guy said it but I could be wrong. Help!
Answers:
Years ago every Las Vegas casino had a 3 piece chicken dinner with potato and veggie for $1.79. A standard bet back then was $2.00, hence when you won a bet you had enough for a chicken dinner. So now you know the rest of the story.

This just in from Talladega: NASCAR bans racing, claims that cars rubbing on cars is just open-wheel cheap thrills. Fans sleep through 3-hour single-file borefest.

This also just in from Talladega. The only fans that did not go to the ticket window and request a refund were the ones who got drunk and passed out and slept through the race!
