Cool Friends In Crazy Places
by Repeller on 2007-09-23
Ben and Carl are friends. Ben is 21 and Carl is 22 years old. They do lots of things together. They like to challenge each other. Actually, Carl does most of the challenging. Ben just goes along with most of his schemes to prove that he was not afraid. He wanted to keep Carl as a friend, and keep his own ego intact.
Most of the time the challenges were harmless. They would see who could talk to the prettiest girl or who could throw the longest football pass. Every once in a while the challenges were borderline stupid. One time Ben was riding down the street, when he saw a club with a bunch of motorcycles parked outside.
The bikes looked really cool and Ben wondered what was going on inside the place. The sign on the building read Delta Motorcycle Club. He knew this was an opportunity to beat Carl at a challenge. He drove over and picked up Carl. They rode by the club. That is when he made the challenge. He said I bet you want go in that club.
Carl said are you stupid, those guys do not want outsiders. Ben said I guess I win, I went in there yesterday. They did not say anything to me. Carl said you liar prove it. Ben reached in his pocket and pulled out a coin. He said they sell these in there and I bought this one yesterday. Carl was starting to believe Ben. He could not let Ben have the satisfaction of beating him.
Ben persisted, he said I guess I know who is the man. Carl said OK punk, Ill go in there just to shut you up. Carl got out of the car and went up to the building and walked in. The doors closed behind him. At first, everything seem all right. He thought, man I bet Ben was lying. I do not see any place to by coins. To his surprise the place was well organized.
Then all of a sudden, he heard a bell ring. An announcement came over the public address system. It said, we have our next contestant. It seems that they have real fights on Tuesdays. Whoever walks in the door next had to fight the previous winner. It was Tuesday and Carl had walked in the door next. 2 guys came toward him to take him to the center of the club where they kept the fight ring.
He spent the next few minutes trying to talk his way out of the contest. He finally had to pay them 75 dollars to let him leave the club in one piece. They escorted him to door and told him never to set foot in there again. When he came out, Ben asked him how it went. He said you should know you went in yesterday.
He just looked at Ben and said you owe me 75 dollars. He also told Ben never to bring him there again. Ben persisted, and Carl finally told him the whole story. Ben is still Carls friend but he has quit the challenges out fear that someone might get hurt.
If you have friends that like to frequent places that are obviously dangerous, you may want limit your contact with them. Always have a self defense and safety strategy in mind in case of emergency.
