But Gambling Is Illegal in California

Your Boulevardier can not claim to be a football fan, but he was amused by the level of frivolity today at the Castro Valley Post Office, much of it at the expense of a certain postal employee who, apparently, picked Seattle to win the Super Bowl. Even patrons in line seemed to know about the unfortunate bettor's choice. Phrases like "He's going to have to work a lot of overtime" were gleefully tossed about like so many penalty flags. Your Boulevardier wishes the fellow better luck next time.
