17. When I was a kid I loved professional wrestling...

Apr 2016

When I was a kid I loved professional wrestling and wanted to be a professional wrestler...I must have been about thirteen years old and I was wrestling with my friend in his backyard. I had him in a pile driver but didn't consummate the hold because, even then, I knew I could break his neck and really get in trouble.

What does that have to do with DU?

One of the staples of professional wrestling was "the loser leaves town" match...

How about a "loser leaves DU" wager. If Hillary loses I leave DU forever. If Bernie loses you leave DU forever.

That way we both have a real stake in the outcome.
