I Bet You...

UPDATES IN RED

Well... those are the three words that will peak anyone's interest.


I have come to learn that in the working world, anything can become a wager. It reminds me of the movie Rat Race starring Mr Bean.



The realization begain with a couple people that everyday would peer from their 3rd floor perch starting 5 minutes before the shuttle bus arrived and would bet the over/under on the number of people that would wait for the bus. Then came the bet about eating an entire cupcake in one bite...





In the mundane work day, the thrill of a wager comes easy. And at Five Star Sports, a day rarely goes by without some sort of challenge or wager. The the most memorable being the field goal kicking competition pitted Tyler vs me. Lets just say its hard to lose when you are perfect from 30 yards.... (Pictured Me kicking and Tommy Harwood- All Mission League Holder)


Thus, comes today's wager: My boss vs Me in a 2 Mile Run

Me

  • Age: 24

  3. youtube is sooo necessary! Ya know...saving for posterity and all. I think you should move the venue to purchase and include a death-defying jaunt across Westchester :P

    Anyway let me know when the pool gets started. I definitely have to be in on this one!
