Proposing a lottery

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Wild Wild West : One Thread

A modest proposal: I think it's likely that Hill will dump Bill. At this point he is a major drag on her ambitions and likely to become more so.

I propose that those who are interested, ante $10.00 into a pot to be held by the Unc. A date will be assigned to each participant based on some random selection technique. By "dump", I mean either a legal separation or a divorce. The person who holds the date that is closest to the day of legal finality will win the pot, less expenses and a small gratuity of gratitude for Unc's efforts (should he agree to do this).

A toast to Senator Hillary Rodham! My guess is that she will initiate action within a year.

If she does not initiate legal action within (say) two years, then the money would be returned.

Sorry, if legal action is not initiated within two years the "pot" is forfeited and retained by the holder as payment for services rendered.

OK, I will hold the money.

Gee Lars, I’m certain that the escrow laws in Indiana restrict individuals from holding funds for over 30 days. However, we have no such fiscal encumbrances here in the State of California, so………….:>)
