A slightly nerdish guy sits on a park bench when a dog comes up to him carrying a pair of headphones in its mouth. He pets the dog and looks up to find a great looking blonde woman stopping her jog through the park to retrieve her headphones. She looks at the guy, calls him “cute,” grabs his PDA and enters her phone number.
No sooner does she jog off then a lovely brunette thanks him for finding her dog. She gazes into his eyes and asks him out for a cup of coffee.
A super appears which reads, “Anyone can get lucky,” accompanied by the logo for Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
