SCIENCE!
chaleur23 has been trying to convince me for some time that Diet Coke is an acceptable substitute for Coke, even going so far as, today, challenging me to a taste test to see if I could even tell the difference. I gladly accepted and we set up a single-blind test, which, needless to say, I passed instantly - it took only one sip to identify the saliva of Satan, especially when contrasted with that noble drink.
The penalty, should I have lost, would have been to drink a can of Diet Coke she left in my cube a month or so ago and which has since become a permenant decoration, symbolizing my defiance of the foul beverage. Stupidly, I was so eager to prove that the difference was noticable that I forgot to specify a prize should I win! Once again I rushed headlong into combat only to find that I had no idea what I'd do once I won.
I SAID SCIENCE AGAIN!
chaleur23 wants a rematch, this time with ice and witnesses. Perhaps she merely feels bad for not having had to lose anything for her wrongness, so we've bet a signed dollar plus the Diet Coke should I lose and ______ should I win - don't know what that will be yet. She and I will both consider it over the weekend.
