Derek my M10 love witnessed an interesting exchange in the Nati pub last night, and wants me to post it up as he thinks Chockstoners would enjoy it too.
What do you think?

The bet.

Trad climber walked into the Nati bar around 9:58 PM.
He sat down next to a blonde haired boulderer at the bar and stared up at the TV.

The 10 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a tall building in Melbourne preparing to jump.

The blonde haired boulderer looked at trad climber and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Trad climber said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

The blonde haired boulderer replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Trad climber placed a $20 note on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as the blonde haired boulderer placed his money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.

The blonde haired boulderer was very upset, but willingly handed his $20 to trad climber. "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Trad climber replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news, so I knew he would jump."

The blonde haired boulderer replied, "I did, too, But I didn't think he'd do it again."

Trad climber took the money.
