In Vallejo, Ca, a 21-year old man got stuck in a kid's swing because he bet his friends he could use liquid detergent to make his legs slick enough to get into the swing. Getting into the swing wasn't the problem; getting out was. The man inevitably got stuck. So instead of calling for help for their indisposed friend, the man's so-called "friends" bailed, leaving him in the swing for NINE hours. Eventually, the fire department showed up and had to cut the man out. The amount of the bet: $100.
Ok, I know some of us wonder if we could still fit in those swings, but if you have to make your legs slick enough to get in one, then it's probably not the brightest idea. Now he has to deal with the public embarrassment because chances are, word will get around who it was. If his friends were "nice" enough to leave him in the swing without getting help, they will have no problem telling everyone they know he was the one who got stuck.
Some friends he's got. I think it's time to reevaluate who he calls "friends."
Those jerks better pay up.
