Another funny story
Sally was teaching probability theory today, and the natural question arose: What are the possible outcomes for flipping a coin? Well, clearly, theres the Head (H), and the Tail (T).
And off to the side, I mentioned to clark that theres the chance of it landing on the side too. This is a possibility that most people forget, so when people ask you to ask head or tails, its exciting to say side! And guess what, later when sally asks what were their outcomes for 5 coin flips, cody actually said that he had 5 sides! That so made my day.
Aian't the following an exciting conversation?
(Friend flips coin.) 'Heads or tails?'
'Side. I say that it lands on its side.'
'Well, let me check. Nope, it doesn't land on its side. Guess again.'
(Arrogant smug look) 'Side. I don't care if I'm wrong. I say that it lands on its side.'
(Exasperation)

Yay! On the side! I believe you forgot,
"But you're going to lose. Heads of Tails?"
"I don't care. On the side"

I'm not the one with amnesia. I believe you forgot.
"Fine, someday I'd bring you to a southside bar, and get you to play this game with the bartender. And i want you to say on the side."
"Fine."
But of course, this is an ongoing ficticious conversation, so who could say who's right?
Hmz, i guess who could say that who is right right? cos if who is wrong, who would know right?
