The Asshole Hat Proposition
I was talking with my friend David Irish of Henderson, Nevada today when there was a mentioning of an "Asshole Hat" being worn in play at a poker table. Curious, but unsure of exactly what he was talking about, I prodded Dave for more information about this hat. He informed me that the "Asshole Hat" is an empty Bud Light box worn as a hat, with the word "Asshole" written on one of the flaps. Here is a picture of Dave modeling the hat:
Now, Dave has been one of my good friends for about five years. If there's one thing I've learned about him in that time, it's that his dignity can be bought, usually for a fairly low price too. Realizing this, I got the idea to proposition Dave into wearing the Asshole Hat while playing in the 2007 WSOP Main Event (of which he plans on participating).
I offered Dave $200 for 1% of his WSOP action if he wears the Asshole Hat during the tournament. My roommate Michael said he would give Dave $1,000 for 7.5% of his WSOP action under the following terms:
* Dave must wear an empty Bud Light box on his head, like a hat, with the term "Toolbox" written on one of the flaps. We figured Harrah's would most certainly not allow him to wear the hat if it says "Asshole".
* Dave must wear the Hat for the entire duration he is in the tournament, unless forced to remove the Hat by Harrah's management.
* If Harrah's forces Dave to remove the Hat on day one of the tournament, the purchasers will have their stake increased in Dave's action to a 1:1 ratio. For example, if he is forced to remove the hat on day one, Michael's 7.5% becomes 10% and my 1% becomes 2%.
* If Harrah's forces Dave to remove the Hat on day two, or anytime thereafter, Dave is in the clear and the original terms of the proposition remain in tact.
* Dave must wear the Hat willingly, and in good faith. He cannot, in any way, provoke Harrah's management into making him remove the Hat. By and large, he will conduct himself in a manner as if he is not wearing the Hat at all.
Why am I making this into a blog post, you ask? Other than the fact that it's hilarious, Dave has stated that he will only wear the Hat if he gets $2,000 worth of action from it. Michael and I have already pledged a combined $1,200, meaning that Dave needs another $800 worth of pledges in order for him to wear the Hat during the WSOP Main Event.
I can vouch for Dave insofar that he is an honest person who will give you what you paid for in this proposition. To those of you interested in buying Dave's pride at the WSOP, reply in a comment to this entry or contact Dave directly at tuba1026 at yahoo dot com.
