Apparently there is such a thing as a marriage bet which, if you are ever offered one DO NOT take it. Or at least, if my husband ever offers you one, DO NOT take it. If you do I guess I will have to come teach you a lesson, so that's reason #2 (and the less-compelling one) for you to not take the bet. The real reason is that a marriage bet consists of your spouse offering up "anything you want, once" if you win the bet. Which sounds great, except that it works both ways. And if you are notorious for losing bets with your sneaky gambler of a husband, then he will take advantage of this by offering one up when he knows you think you're right (and he has coerced someone to make you think you're right).
I'm not going to go into details about what the bet entailed, because it doesn't matter - but basically I was 100% positive I was right and he knew it, so he made me a "marriage bet". And when he explained what it was, I was ecstatic, because I have a writer's mind and if someone offers me "anything you want, once" - I can figure out all sorts of ways to reword that later on and drag it out for eternity.
Instead, I lost the bet. Because he cheats. But he still won. So guess what he is honestly considering. With "anythign you want" on the table, he is considering making me eat a McRib and a Filet o' Fish in one sitting. This is what my HUSBAND wants for his one-time-only, anything-you-want bet. Which is, like, incredibly insulting.
