Things I should've taken bets on
Oct. 12th, 2005 12:03 pmIn retrospect, I should've started pools on the following:
1. How long between Puck's return and the first time Russ threatens to turn him into a throw pillow or equivalent? Winning bet would've been 5 days.
2. How long will Russ be working as an electrician before he ends up in the emergency ward? Winning bet: about 2 months.
3. What will happen to Russ that he will end up in the emergency room?
The smart bet wouldn't have been electrocution, as that is way too obvious. Russ' bad luck is much more subtle then that. Personally, I would have bet on either another tradesperson accidentally hitting him on the head or some unlikely series of events resulting in Russ getting injured by a port-a-potty. I would've lost the bet: Russ went to the ER yesterday after cutting his thumb open with a hack saw. Three stitches and three days off of work resulted.
