#13 Payday

Today in Math we got to play board games. Kelly wanted to play Payday, so Kim C, Kim H, Jenny, Andrea, her, and I all played Payday. (It should only be 4 people). From the start there was a money shortage, but we played anyway. Whenever Andrea got mail, she sang the Blues Clues mail song. I think that during the game I was the only person who never went into debt, but I never had too much money, either. Most of the game was spent where I had only $5, while Andrea had $500, and the others fell in between. We kept landing on the town center, where everyone gives $50. We did that so much, that the jackpot was $1000. To get the money you needed to roll a 6, and for a long time nobody rolled on. Right before we had to leave, Kim C got the money and won the game. Still, Payday was fun.

THOUGHTS
Whoa. This article is awesome! Let me count the ways.
  1. We played board games in math class
  2. It was me playing board games with five beautiful women. That hasn't happened in high school...or college.
  3. I was still a kid who believed in authority...four players my arse!
  4. Good economics lessons? Too many people makes a money shortage. Not going into debt is good (that's something I wish I knew now). We live in an absurd world where an honest man has $5 and the girl who sings Blues Clues has $500. Socialism is evil because you throw away $1000 and it goes to Kim, not the town center.
