Re: Prop bet thread
Here's a missed opportunity from this afternoon, that I'm still upset I didn't get to wager.
I have 2 bosses - 1 immediate boss and that person's boss. I frequently have to deal with both of them. My immediate boss, that person's boss, another person, and I were on a conference call today. The big boss and I were disagreeing on something. He bet me my job that I was wrong. At that point my immediate boss intervened.
My counter bet was going to be:
1) I'm tired of your crap
2) If you want to gamble, let's gamble.
3) I'll bet my mortgage against yours (his house is really nice - higher mortgage than I have)
4) You can fire me today and I can find another job, with better pay, where I don't have to take s**t from you, and I can do it in under 3 weeks.
I was genuinelly ready to make this bet, but calmer heads spoke up. I would have won FWIW.
