Then there was the story of this Sicangu guy from Rosebud, Virgil Longest Braids, who walked into the Prairie Wind Casino around 9:58 pm. He sat down at the bar next to Julia Makes Good Frybread, a nice looking Oglala woman from Pine Ridge, and stared up at the TV.
The 10 pm news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a large building in Rapid City, preparing to jump.
Julia Makes Good Frybread looked at Virgil Longest Braids and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"
Virgil said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."
Julia replied, "Well, I bet he won't."
Virgil then placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"
Just as Julia Makes Good Frybread placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a nose dive off the building, falling to his death.
Julia was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Virgil, saying, "Fair is fair. Here's your money."
Virgil replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 pm news, and so I knew he would jump."
Julia replied, "I did too, but didn't think he'd do it again."
Virgil Longest Braids just took the money and asked, "Do you come here often?"
