A recent video titled "Listen to the fine print" has gone viral, showcasing a humorous and clever way to win a bet involving push-ups. The video begins with an older man confidently stating, "Just to be clear, I take all the money if I can do between three and four hundred push-ups." A younger man, skeptical of this challenge, bets six hundred dollars against it. What follows is a entertaining display of wit and trickery.

The older man starts counting his push-ups: "One, two, three, four." He then stops, much to the confusion of the onlookers. The younger man, realizing he's been duped, exclaims, "You did four push-ups, bro. Four? Just between three and four hundred, right?" The older man had cleverly interpreted "between three and four hundred" as simply doing four push-ups.

This video has sparked a variety of reactions and stories from viewers. One comment humorously notes, "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance." Another viewer shares a personal experience from New Orleans involving a similar bet, highlighting how such tricks are not uncommon.

The video also prompted discussions about the importance of listening to the fine print in bets and contracts. A user referenced the legal principle of "contra-proferentem," which means any ambiguities in a contract should be interpreted against the drafter.

Overall, the video serves as a funny reminder to always pay close attention to the specifics of any agreement. It's a perfect example of how clever wording can turn the tables in a seemingly straightforward challenge. Check out the video for a good laugh and a valuable lesson in the art of betting.

The best part of this is that I didn’t need the audio to hear this in his voice.

First time I ever went to New Orleans, there was a cute young lady standing on Bourbon St. betting passers-by $20 that she could knock down the brick wall behind her. Once she collected some, she'd reach up, then knock on the brick wall lightly from as high as she could reach down to the ground. She then demanded payment, and two LARGE men who had been creeping up since she started knocking made sure it was paid. Lmao.

Contra-proferentem. "Against the drafter." The drafter of the contract has a duty to make sure the terms of the contract are without ambiguities. Any ambiguities in the contract go against the drafter of the contract. For example if I say in a contract that all work must be completed by 9, 9 must mean 9pm if it is most disadvantageous for the drafter of the contract. It doesn't even have to be more advantageous for the other parties to the contract, it just has to be most disadvantageous to

My friend and I were in Vegas and had been drinking and were heading to a different hotel on the strip when we were surrounded by a bunch of guys. One guy came up and said, I bet you $20 I can guess where your shirt is from. The answer was the store. I paid the $20 because yeah, we got robbed.

He very carefully pauses after "three" which is some great acting.
