American Dream

Imagine living in a basement [with your sister and brother-in-law], slightly over-weight, middle-aged and have a passion for beer. Apparently, this particular character make-up is ideal for being a contestant on Deal or No Deal.

With 3 remaining cases, you receive a buy-out offer of $147,00. However, you have no safety net, as the remaining cases are 10, 100 and 500,000. It seems like an easy decision. Ask your loved ones for advice. If you plan on exercising better judgment, avoid asking family members, especially if you live with them. Confide in your best friend, in this case, the brother-in-law had some very insightful advice.

"You've got the half-million in ya case!"

"$147,00 ain't nothin!"

"No Deal!"

The American Dream, in this circumstance, opening 'one more case' makes great television. Our friend from Arkansas took the walk of shame and $10 credit toward a bar tab.
