Who won this bet?

[LaraMN]

My husband and I had a raging dispute over lunch regarding when Dave Thomas (the founder of Wendy's) died.

I claimed it was in the last five years. He claimed it was "like fifteen years ago," then relented a bit and said that he KNEW it was more than five years ago. We made a bet that if I was right, MRLaraMN would have to clean the downstairs toilet. If he was correct, I would have to let him return his green polo shirt to the closet and resume wearing it, and I was not allowed to hide or destroy it.

I looked it up on the 'net and it turns out Dave died six years ago. I feel I was closer in my estimation, because I guessed five years, and MrLaraMN (before he became all vague and stuff) initially claimed it was about fifteen years ago. I think I should win. I really, really do.

What say you, DU?

1. clearly the winner is

YOU

:)

[LaraMN]

2. That's what I said!!!

He's totally copping out!

[Mutley]

3. Since clear parameters were not set, I'd say it's a draw.

You don't get your toilet cleaned, and MrLaraMN doesn't get his shirt.

[LaraMN]

5. It's almost worth it to keep that shirt out of the rotation.

:scared:

[Mutley]

7. Is it that bad?

:D

[flvegan]

4. Two bets were made, one for 5 years, one for 15 years.

Gambling on toilet cleaning ain't the price is right where you can bid a penny higher and win.

[LaraMN]

6. That's it. I'm not going to Vegas.

8. Right, but you were closer. You win.

9. You were much closer, you win. nt

10. Price is Right Rules here

Closest without going over....so you!

[ghostsofgiants]

17. That's what I was thinking.

[nuxvomica]

11. Based on the brief you offered, you have clearly lost the bet

It appears that the bet was between the claims of (a) five years or less and (b) more than five years. This is purely based on the facts of the case as presented and his nothing to do with my fondness for ratty old shirts.

12. two double oh two

you lost

[littlebit]

13. If you were playing

by "Price is Right" standards you would win. He went over.

[NMDemDist2]

14. sorry, he did

:hide:

[SoxFan]

15. Enter the lawyer

Well, the "four corners" of your agreement expressly states that you are setting a 5 year threshhold. He relented, albeit in a half-assed manner from his original 15 year proposal, but you didn't modify your 5 year assertion. Judge BlueDog finds for MrLaraMn...

(cue the "doink doink" sound from Law & Order)

[Skittles]

16. I think you and your hubby both need a good butt-kicking n/t

[LaraMN]

18. That is the correct response.

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

19. Using the hand-grenade method of solving disputes....

You win!

[BlueJazz]

20. You Win......You are a DU'er and they always win.

[LaraMN]

21. I'm also 30, while he's only 29.

I've been holding THAT one over his head for five months!

Ah, the wisdom of age...

[TK421]

22. You obviously win this argument....

IMHO.....but I won't get involved in a spat such as this ( these things can get pretty heated, as you know ) !

[skygazer]

23. I say that I love the fact that you had a raging dispute over when Dave Thomas died
