What would you rather have? One dollar, or a one-in-fifty-million chance
of winning ten million dollars?

One Austrian "taler", pronounced "dollar"? I can't say I've had one since
the days of Marie-Terese herself, but I'll take the wager anyway.

Beable van Polasm (aka Bruce) was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

That's easy. Given that 1 dollar doesn't exactly go very far, and I
can earn it in a few minutes, I'd go for the one-in-fifty-million
chance of winning ten million dollars.

However, Given the choice of ten million dollars and
one-in-fifty-million chance of winning ten trillion dollars, I'd think
I'd go for the former.


I cannot beable to make this psot funny.

Unless you give me sharks with fricking lasers on their heads. Then I
will laugh as said sharks beable fry beable's brain.

This is MISLEADING MISLEADING MISLEADING, Mr. Beable van Polasm IF THAT
IS YOUR REAL NAME. How are you going to get the one-in-fifty-million
chance of winning ten! million! dollars!? BY BUYING A LOTTERY TICKET,
no doubt, thereby putting your ETERNAL SOUL at RISK. Fair enough, you
might say.

BUT! To get a LOTTERY TICKET you must go to the STORE and exchange your
DOLLAR for a TICKET. Whereas to get a DOLLAR you don't have to exchange
the dollar you already have for ANYTHING! So the LAZY choice is to keep
your dollar.

But, okay, say you go to the store anyway. Now the question is one of
OPPORTUNITY COST! Should you buy a LOTTERY TICKET? Or, INSTEAD, should
you buy some CHONKLIT, since you're at the store ANYWAY? I think the
choice is CLEAR.

STOP THAT! At least while there is no Pepsi Blue within walking
distance of me. PLEASE.

Now I'll have to spend all morning thinking evil thoughts of Vanilla
Coke to quell the cravings.
