An Easy Choice
“Flip a coin.”
“How on earth is that going to help? There are nine choices, nitwit. A coin only has two side.”
“Do you have a coin on you or not?”
“Why’r ya askin’ me? Don’t ya have any money on you? Am I supposed to pay for everything on this trip?”
“My choice is getting easier and easier.”
“Just what’s that supposed to mean?”
“You know I pay everything with a credit card. Do you have a coin or not?”
“Yes. Here, you flip.”
The coin lands on tails and Andre is elated. “Yes!”
“So, which way are you going?”
“Back home.”
