#2063

You know what I meant.

#2064

In hindsight, yes, but I had a brief moment of confusion and thought I’d share my conjecture.

#2065

I asked someone. Heads or tails, before I asked you

#2066

What did they answer?

#2067

I couldn’t tell you, as my only info was “Lucky.”.
Perhaps you were trying to see if I’d get the same answer, or perhaps, a different one.

#2068

Who knows. It relies on luck, anyway

#2069

If you had a 99% chance to live and gain a dollar, with only a 1% chance of dying, would you go for the dollar?

#2070

Well, no, because basic risk-benefit analysis would then equate my life to $99 dollars, and I know that my kidneys alone are worth much more than that.

#2071

The chance of you dying is extremely minimal

#2072

There is no reason not to go for it

#2073

And yet I stand to gain extremely little.

#2074

Its 1%, after all.

#2075

But there is no reason to go for it, either.

#2076

You get a dollar

#2077

And what will that dollar then get me?

#2078

An extra shot of caramel drizzle on my McDonald’s milkshake?

#2079

An extra dollar to your name

#2080

But what if that 1% does indeed take my life? Would I then be known as the person who died for a chance at a dollar?

#2081

I could make that dollar and more at a different, lower-risk place, such as a job.

#2082

I mean you’d get a statue built of you looking like Mr. Krabs from spongebob
