A good accent and a winning smile is a kind of currency. I've learned over the years that its street value is high.
I was a very naive twenty year old in that casino. I didn't have an accent, but I did have a winning smile, and I was full of hope.
But I was too young to understand this and many other things.
What do they say about youth being wasted on the young? I'm starting to understand that this is a sad knowledge to have firsthand.
