I have this pal who has gained far too much weight over the last decade or so. He’s experiencing some serious health problems, and he’s concerned.
I’ve been thinking about how I could help my friend out. So I said, “Stanley, here’s the deal. Let’s see who can be the first to lose 10 pounds. If you slim up first, I’ll give you $50. If I lose 10 pounds before you do, you owe me five bucks.”
Stanley said he loved this plan. You might be saying, “What a silly bet you just made, Donald!” However, I’m no dummy. I’m a man of discipline. I can drop 10 pounds easy. And who can’t use another five bucks?
So I’ve been on my diet for three days now.
Good news! I’ve only gained four pounds so far.
And I’ve lost Stanley’s phone number.
