Has anybody out there ever made a bet with their spouse? Has that spouse after losing the bet delayed paying off on the bet or desperately searched for loopholes to get out of paying up? If so what did you do about it? You can't exactly hire Guido to strong arm a loved one and if you have to constantly demand payment you lose the fun spirit of the bet and end up with pissed off wife.
So I will tell all of you loyal readers about my current predicament and see if any of you have any idea about what I should do. On August 7th my wife and I made a bet on whether or not my mom had gone to church the previous Sunday. My mom, grandparents and little brother were coming back from a weekend at the coast when they were stopped by road closures due to the fires. They left Eureka at around 2 in the afternoon and didn't make it home to Redding until about 1:30 the following morning. When Jennifer, myself and our kids left the coast on Monday we began discussing whether or not my mom, dedicated to church to a degree that would make Paul look like bedside Baptist, had gone to church Sunday morning. I said there was no way they went, while Jennifer was certain that they had. This discussion went on for a few minutes until Jennifer said I will bet you that she went. The following wager was proposed: if they had gone to church I would have to clean the bathroom, if they didn't go to church then Jennifer would give me a lap dance.
They Didn't go to church!
Yeah for me, right?
But it is now July 30th and there has been no lap dance!
Jennifer claimed I forfeited the gyration of her scantily clad hips by bringing the subject up about a week or two after the original bet, and saying that the longer the lap dance was left undone the more interest it would collect and that it would soon grow to two lap dances. At that point she claimed the whole thing was a SCAM! And that she would in no way participate.
What do I do now?

You could always do my strategy and make another bet only make it double or nothing with higher stakes. Then cash in right away. Just don't lose the bet.
OK I guess I deserve this, seeing as I wanted to know WHY he didnt blog anymore. But this is just a bunch of lies!!!! :)
What a comeback, Jed!
i don't have a solution for you jed but hang in there. i too have been a victim of a wife non-payout. make a stand and get your payment, it is only the right thing to do. what kind of example is this for your kids, seeing their mom not follow through on promises. it makes me sad to see such action.
Matt
What kind of mom would she be if she LET her kids watch her follow through on her promise??
What sort of sick freak would let their kids watch? I don't know what sort of things you and Mike are into, but I would appreciate if you would keep your twisted perversions to yourself.
Jed
I just have to say I am in no place to give you advice so your on your own. Good luck.

Curtiss, dude, invite me to read your blog! Joel
Don't let Matt fool you, I always pay up on my bets, sorry Jen you gotta get that chair out :) ( pssst...Jen...there is a big difference in a lap dance and a strip tease. Make this work to your advantage... where you uglist pjs and enforce a no touch rule :)....
oh Jed.. First I am so glad to see you blogging again... I have had my morning entertainment.. Sorry to say as far as the bet.. If you know your wife like I know her, you would know that the chances of you getting that lap dance now that you have blogged about it is slim to none.. You pretty much shot yourself in the foot on this one.. I agree w/ Joel and Leslie.. You should have done a double or nothing deal... :) Sorry.. DB
