Some people are like that. They don't want to have to think about anything. My wife was like that. She loved to play slot machines because there was no thought that went in to it.

I’d love to know how she came up with Funny Duck on a slim ticket. Didn’t the horse get trounced once he races against winners in Transylvania Stakes (I think). That result boggled my mind, but it seems like there’s ALWAYS one head scratcher on big days ala Bar of Gold
