Odds

[plural]

heard an
interesting tidbit today

from a statistical freak
who is blackmailing me
into referring to him as
my friend,
but as I really
respect him for it,
(the blackmail that is)
maybe we are
actually friends
after all

I am quite fond
of an old bumberstickeresque
saying

"the lottery is a tax
for people with
bad math skills"

so today
my villainous friend
informs me
just how bad of
math skills you have

apparently
were I to stand at the top
of the empire state building
and attempt to throw
a nickel
into a cup sitting on
the sidewalk below
without knowing
which side of the
building
the cup was
on

I would have better odds
of succeeding
than buying a
lotto
ticket

of course
while this
humors me
I make no claim
to its
accuracy
