”Mike smiled. “I’ve been known to place a wager or two over the bar. What do you have in mind?”Artie replied “Okay. For fifty, I bet you tha... I can bite my right eye.”Mike thought this was impossible, but it would be worth fifty just to see him do it. “Ok, Artie, you’re on for fifty.”Artie grinned, popped out his glass right eye, bit it, and pushed it back in.Mike slid the fifty over the bar and laughed. “Artie, how many people have you gotten with that one?”Artie said “Plenty, but I’m running. The winter in Scotland was grey and dismal and I had bought tickets to Germany. I'd found a winter chalet for us, and after eight hours of travel, we arrived at Klingbach in Bavaria. The mountainsides were coated white, with only occasional fir-trees spiking out. The roads were difficult, even with the snow-tyres, and when I turned off the ignition, it was dark outside. The chalet was empty, and the agent had left a note that we had the whole place to ourselves. I read the note over Anna's. And the most preposterous thing was this: her son Malcolm, who she thought was playing the field, had been carrying on an ongoing affair with his high school guidance counselor Charlotte Speaks since he was a sophomore in high school. Charlotte was the reason he came home this spring break. Laughing to herself as she considered her husband cheating with Kasey Kaminsky, her daughter cavorting with Garven Milroy and her son frolicking with Charlotte Speaks and thought I guess I’m just destined to. Rosa looked at me no problem happy birthday sit down and lets party!!!YES I thought to myself and so I sat down and we started to drink. WE started to chat Rosa tells me she is from Cuba and she has been living here for 9 years now, she has been divorced for sometime and I started to say how my love life sucked but not to worry good things happen to good people bla bla bla….so I can see that Rosa started to look at me in a sexy way, I ordered a few more drinks and could see that Rosa s friend.
