I'm
I am an idiot. Plain and simple. There's a young attorney at our office I am friends with. The guy is quirky with a lot of charm. Very good guy. This guy likes to bet. Not on sporting events. Not on horse races. On people doing stupid things. We had a pre-Mardi Gras happy hour at our office two weeks ago. At that time, he bet me I couldn't eat 25 Reeses Peanut Butter cups in under 45 minutes. It's a fifty dollar bet. At the time, I was thinking to myself it would be a piece of cake. Like a fool, I took the bet. Today he brings in this huge box of peanut butter cups with a post it which read "Eat Me". No problem I think to myself, I can do it. We set the date for this Friday at 9:00 in his office. Just him and me. Much to my dismay, I get the following email deliverd to my inbox roughly eight minutes ago. "Cool Hand" Just A Gal will attempt to eat 25 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (standard size) in 45 minutes--armed with only a glass of water. If she can successfully down (and maintain) the 25 Peanut Butter Cups in the time allowed, she will win $50. He sent it to the whole firm. Just what I need. All of these attorneys here probably think I am desparate for cash since I agreed to such a stupid stunt. The fee goes up if there's a crowd. Even if I feel I may pass out, I will eat these cups no matter what. I am such an idiot.
