How I Won a Dollar

Free Money

I don't mind stealing cash from my buddies. And if I can do it and humiliate them at the same time it's priceless!


Recently I went target shooting with some friends. One of them told me about a tazer he bought. I asked him If I could taze him with it. He was way to quick to respond "Sure!". I was stoked, he was gonna let me shock the crap outta him. He then mentioned "I get to shoot you too right?". Shoot me? I thought. Apparently this is the kind of tazer that launches projectiles and then shocks you...No way! Forget it. I think he was a little bitter I wussed out. Anyway, when we go shooting we often have random shooting contests. Usually with pistols. He'll use a .45 auto and I'll typically use a .45 Colt or even a .22. They are my most accurate pistols. To this day we had been tied. He hadn't beaten me and I had not beaten him. We've both made shots at targets the size of a pop can from up to 70-plus yards with pistols. On this day though, I wasn't shooting so great, so I passed on the bets only to let my other friends get their dollar bets taken. So with a bunch of wins under his belt, my buddy starts to get cocky and says he'll put his pistol against a rifle with iron sights. I had to jump at the chance to whip him. I have a ringer of a lever-action .22. He had been hitting the small target about once every 7 rounds. So I stepped up, hit it 7 times in a row, and took his dollar. He left me a little message on my winnings in an attempt to make my win less important. No biggie, it'll spend the same as a regular bill.
