Jerry and Slick were sitting at a bar drinking beer and watching a championship football game being televised on the huge wall screen, a bowl of peanuts close at hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey Jerry, want to play a game?\u201d said Slick, taking a large sip of his cold beer.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, what\u2019s it all about,\u201d replied Jerry, munching on some peanuts while eyeing the curvy waitress.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really simple. I throw this die and if you throw a higher number, you win one point, otherwise I get the point,\u201d explained Slick as he placed a large red die between the beer glasses on the green felt-covered bar counter.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s try it first, Slick,\u201d said Jerry with a suspicious look.<\/p>\n
Slick threw the red die and got a two. Then Jerry threw and got a three.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm, seems like a good game,\u201d said Jerry with a sly smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlad you like it, Jerry. How about we play twenty rounds, or until the football game is over \u2013 point loser pays the bill?\u201d said Slick.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine by me,\u201d replied Jerry, giving a loud cheer for a goal just made and snatching a handful of peanuts from the bowl.<\/p>\n
Slick ordered some fast food and they rolled the die until the end of the football game.<\/p>\n
Who do you figure paid the bill, and why?<\/em><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
