Seems reasonable.

Well … he did say he never loses a bet.

Let the Wookiee win.

How many Teamsters does it take to change a light bulb?

Seventeen. You gotta problem wit dat?

Is that Gleason and Newman?

This is not a multiple choice situation

Heads I win, tales you lose.

I’m a pretty decent billiards player so back in high school my best friend took me to a local pool hall because he thought I might be able to win some money at the tables. At the time I was about 5 foot 8 and weighed about 125 pounds soaking wet. Now, memory is a funny thing but from what I recall every dude in the place was about 6 foot 5 with cowboy boots and cowboy hats and a girl on his arm. I looked at my friend and said “You seriously think these guys are going to give me their money if I beat them in front of their girlfriends? Seriously?” I then turned around and walked out while I still had my life in my body.

Does he have a choice?

Whatever you say, Sir.

Wait a minute…

this is one of those “let the wookiee win” situations, isn’t it.

Just give him your money now, little guy, and leave it at that.

Disagreement would be unwise.

He’s actually a very decent guy. He could have said, “If I lose, I get to kill you, okay?”
