And that's how I won 50 cents off Paul.
Dec. 28th, 2003 06:59 pmCardinals just got a touchdown. Two minutes left in the game. Score is 17-12, Vikings.
I reach in my pocket, dig out my two quarters, and plunk them on the table.
"50 cents says the Cardinals will win."
Paul digs in his pocket and pulls out a handful of change. Counts out ten pennies, two nickels and three dimes. PLUNK. "You're on."
On-side kick and the Cardinals recover the ball. Many messy (and downright bad) plays later and the clock has two seconds left. Cardinals' quarterback is running and dodging. Clock is all zeroes. He throws. Cardinals receiver and two Vikings defensemen jump.
Final score: 18-17, Cardinals.
