Haha, this takes some explaining...You see, this girl (Joy, if you want to call her by name) is a good friend of mine. But she is largely mistaken about a lot of things in life. But can you blame her? Hahaha, just kidding...
You see, we were on the phone at like 1 AM and she asked me if I was going to the Spider-man movie thingy the next day. Only, she said "Superman." I was like what? And she replied, "Superman. You know, Superman." I replied, "Superman? We're watching Superman tomorrow?" Her reply was "Yeah...," as if I was crazy or something.
"Are you sure it's Superman?" I asked. Her reply stated her confidence in that fact. Now, I guess I could've been nice, but the previous day, I had just lost a $10 bet on a girl's name. Long story. So, I felt the need to re-establish some self-esteem. "Would you willing to bet on the fact that the movie we are watching tomorrow is 'Superman?'" She was tired, or so she said, and she agreed, "only because I wouldn't let her get off the phone until she did." Such propoganda.
I asked her a final three times if she was sure, and sure enough, she was, so we set the bet conditions. If I "lost," which I couldn't have possibly, I would've had to vacuum her dorm floor's carpet...which could've been a lot. And if she lost, which of course, she did, she would have to wear a bun on her head in the middle of the cafeteria, stand on a table (or chair, since I felt kind), and declare how mistaken she was in front of everyone.
Sure enough, she lost.
I gave her fair warning. She was a good sport, and eventually took the "shame." Haha, as she was about to stand on the chair, I cleared my throat loudly...enough to scare her to jump down and sit in her seat, all in one fluid motion. Haha, it was hilarious. Eventually, she got back up and confessed her wrongness.
The moral of the story, kids...or even Joys, pay attention to the bets you make. And don't get brain-farts.
