Deal Or No Deal

I just love watching Greedy Frickin' Amerikans lose money so easily.

The lady turned down $187,000. Then she later turned down $135,000 and $98,000.

She ended up Cheering and Happy, because her case had $5,000 in it, instead of the only other remaining case with 1 Penny. It was like watching tragic comedy, as she went NO DEAL to $187,000. When she did it again at $135,000 I couldn't believe it.

1. I wish someone in that predicament would get the penny ........

:evilgrin: just because.

2. I think that Congress should shout

"No Deal No Deal" perhaps the uninformed voters would get it.

3. that show really IS a character study in human greed . . .

contestants generally seem to reason like 10-year-olds . . .

no offense to pre-teens intended -- and 10 may be generous . . .

I saw a guy turn down close to $300,000 because there MIGHT be a million in his case . . . the next case he opened eliminated the million from consideration, and his offer was cut more than in half . . . and he STILL didn't take the deal . . . that's when I clicked to the Food Channel . . .
