I started using a "good luck" charm when I play poker. As you can see by the picture, it's a jagged little rock. The significance, you don't ask? It's a piece from the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. You know, the one that was blown up by American terrorists? One of the reporters I used to work with in Tulsa gave it to me after he covered the story. I've always felt, after all of these years of having it, that maybe I shouldn't have it (if the Feds need it for evidence, I will happily give it back) or maybe it's not even really part of the building, but just a piece of rock that was picked up off the street. Regardless, it does serve as a nice memory of the people who died in that horrific tragedy (which has strangely and sadly gone almost forgotten after 9/11).
My question is: is it in poor taste to use this as a good luck charm? It did seem to work last night.
