LAUGH LINES

Against the Odds: “The Wild Wild West Casino in Atlantic City has broken one of the long cherished rules of casinos. They [installed] a clock in their new Coyote Kate’s Slot Parlor. . . . The theory has been that casinos don’t want gamblers to know what time it is so they’ll keep gambling. . . . You can tell time in a lot of casinos--time to pawn your watch, time to sell your car, time to join Gambler’s Anonymous. . . .” (Daily Scoop)

Baring It All: “Richard, the naked guy from ‘Survivor’ [reportedly is] getting his own TV sitcom. It’s going to be called ‘Two Naked Guys and a Girl.’ ” (Andrew Wisot)

Throwing His Weight Around: “Bobby Knight said goodbye to students at Indiana University . . . and told reporters he’s looking for a job. . . . He would make an excellent salesmen in a furniture store. If you buy a sofa, he’ll throw in a chair.” (Argus Hamilton)
