I was sitting at the bar at the pizza place where I work today, since I was having my lunch break, when one of the employees who wasn't working came and sat next to me. My manager, Gino, came up to the bar and jokingly said "I'll give you a hundred and eighty-nine dollars if you eat this shaker of salt." Apparently, the other employee wasn't very bright, and said in all seriousness, "I'll do it for 20." Being the devil's advocate that I can be, I said that I'd chip in half of it if he did eat it. So the employee proceeded to unscrew the salt shaker, and poured the whole thing into his mouth. The look of paina nd anguish on his face was priceless. After he sifted it around in his mouth for a little while, he spat it all out into a garbage can, losing the bet. He then proceeded to vomit profusely in the bathroom. Gino and I laughed hysterically at his misfortune, and as a token of my appreciation for his entertaining me, I gave him $5. So all was well.
Anyone else want to share a story about watching someone do something idiotic for a bet?
