Watch Your Bets

If a person bets you that their dog can speak French 
Do not take the bet

If a person bets you that they can spit a watermelon seed fifty feet
Do not take the beet

If a person bets you they will drop a TV set out of a window and run down there
and catch it before it lands
This is a different story.

Never bet me money if I tell you I'm dead sure about whatever the bet is about, because I will win! If I am even the teensiest unsure, I won't bet money!!!
