Re: My Accountant: \"But how much did you lose?\"
a conversation with my best friend the other day who knows nothing about gambling, except that I play poker:
him: "I worked 2 hrs OT today"
me: "that sucks"
him: "no, it's good. I got a bunch of OT this week, I'm working like 48 hours total. I'm gonna take home over 800"
me: "umm...is that good?"
him: "why? how much did you make this week"
me: "I made like 1300, but I only played like 20 hours"
him: "yeah, but how much did you lose?"
me: OMFGROFLOLOLOLOL...
him: "what's so funny?"
me: "eh, nevermind"
him: "ok, whatever. so how much did you lose?"
This was a monumental BBV moment for me. I had never been BHMDYL'd in real life before and never really believed it actually happened. I was going to post about it, but forgot until I saw this post. The most amazing part is that it came from my best friend, not some clueless co-worker or distant family member or someone who doesn't know what I do. He was really serious about it and pressed on, so I just told him that I actually won $2000 and lost $700. He settled for that answer. Non-gamblers are funny sometimes.
