In Which Joel Hedges His Bets

[highlyeccentric]

Since it's Melbourne Cup day, I shall talk today about gambling. Betting, in fact. My brother has been making bets with young ladies. Well, one young lady, to be exact. One young lady who is going out with Joel's friend Sam, but that is of minor consequence.

Joel makes bets he cannot lose.

Young Lady felt she had a lot of music on her computer. Joel knew he had a lot on his. So they made a bet on it.

The stakes?

Hugs.

According to Mum, he came home from school looking like the cat that got into the cream, as he saunters over to fire up iTunes, knowing that if he wins, Young Lady will provide him with hugs, plural. And, of course, if by some chance she were to win... then Joel would, like the good sport he is, provide her with hugs, plural, in good spirits.
