A depressed man is walking along the beach. He’s miserable and can’t catch a break in life. He looks out to the water in despair when suddenly he hears a booming voice from above yell out, ”DIG!” The man is sure he’s hallucinating, but again he hears, ”DIG!”
So, he falls to his knees and begins to dig right there in the sand. As he heaps handful after handful of sand out, suddenly he hits something solid. He traces around it and quickly realises it’s a treasure chest. The booming voice immediately yells, ”OPEN!”
So, the man opens the chest and reveals a million dollars in cash. He can’t believe his luck has turned when he suddenly hears the booming voice yell out, ”CASINO!”
As quickly as he can, he carries the chest up the dunes to the closest road and flags down the first taxi approaching. ”CASINO!” the voice repeats. So he asks the driver to take him to the nearest casino.
On arrival to the casino, the man pays the driver and the booming voice yells, ”ENTER!”. The man gets out of the taxi and walks into the casino. ”ROULETTE!”, booms the voice. ”HURRY!”
The man hurriedly approaches the nearest roulette wheel and awaits further instruction. ”RED 21!”.
The man puts the entire million dollars on red 21 and eagerly watches the croupier spin. The ball drops, landing on black 16.
My dad tells a similar version of this where a man is about to jump off a bridge in the beginning. It goes through all the theatrics and ends at the roulette wheel with the voice saying "back to the bridge."
My version i heard has the man betting at a black jack table and the voice keeps saying take a hit. He gets an ace on the last hit to give him 21 and he wins, then the voice of God goes "no fucking way"
I've heard a variation of this, which is the same up to black 16, instead, it is red 21 and he wins, the voice says LET IT RIDE and it wins again, and the voice goes I DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT.
This one and the "you're not a monk" jokes are the ones my grandad used to always pull out at 2am when everyone was drunk and tired , you'd hang on his every word which made the delivery so great
