Stupid People and Money.

A local radio station is having a contest where they announce a month and if your birthday is in that month, you can call in.
The 25th caller wins $500, and a chance to risk it to spin the wheel, which if the wheel comes up with the day of their birthday, they will win $10,000. They can then take the ten grand or risk it to see if the year of their birth comes up, for a million bucks.
So at worst, a one in thirty-one shot at ten grand. With their money.
Today's month was Feb, and a woman called in.

Radio Announcer - "So, are you going to risk the five hundred and take a spin at our wheel?"

Contestant - "No, I'll just take the five hundred."

Radio Announcer - "Aw, why not?"

Contestant - "I'm just not a gambler."

Radio Announcer - "So what are you going to do with your five hundred?"

Contestant - "I'm going to Vegas."


As I banged my head on the steering wheel, she clarified that she won't be so foolish as to gamble the money, she'll just drink it.

Now it's her money, obviously, but you wanna go all the way to Vegas to drink five hundred bucks worth of liquor, which after that much, you won't remember anyway???
