frustrated Here's what I was going for. Now, JJ I know you said there is no humor in gambling BUT.....
This gives away my sense of humor but the joke went something like this:
Farm boy is hitting his head against the barn - time after time after time - not hard but continuous. A neighbor drives by and walks up to the boy and says, "Son, why are you hitting your head against the barn".
The boy replies, "BECAUSE IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN I STOP"!
