When You're Dared To Do Silly Things...

I'm yet to understand why this is common with guys, they just come up with silly challenges and make the loser pay for it if he doesn't do what he is asked to do. Although girls do this too but I've seen more guys do it than them. And what's even more puzzling is how much I love to watch this challenge.

"Truth or Dare" movies are perfect examples of daring people to do silly or difficult things. There was one I witnessed where the guys made a friend of theirs to drink alcohol to stupor and made silly videos of him to show him later when he gets sober. It was so embarrassing as he was a total different person when he gets drunk.

Well, that's not the main purpose of me writing this. Just yesterday, something happened close to my lodge and I want to share it here.

We have this stagnant dirty water gutter not so far from our lodge, it stinks so bad when the sun goes down, one has to keep doors and windows closed to be saved from the odor if not, you'd think your whole body stinks. I really can't explain how bad the smell is but if you've ever experienced the smell of bad eggs or a dead rat, you'd be close to the imagination of how bad the gutter smells.

_{Times hundred of this dirty water is the gutter water}

I was outside yesterday evening washing my dishes after cooking, I was using hyper speed so I don't have to perceive what's coming in few minutes to an hour from the gutter but something interesting happened just when I was about to get the dishes done.

Three young boys (within 9-12years) walked past me but not without having a conversation that made laugh so hard later inside my room, the conversation went like this...

First boy - Desmond, Can you drink this dirty water for 1 billion naira?

Second boy - I won't drink it but can you drink it for 8.2 billion naira?

First boy - Yes, I will drink it and run to the hospital immediately to get treated

Second boy - Ahhh, you know how our hospitals work here, you will just die before you get treated

Third boy - You two shut up there! Even for 1 trillion naira, you won't dare drink that. It won't even touch your lips before you throw up.

The other two boys went mute for a minute and was like "It's true, just look how dirty the water is and it stinks too". They walked away and I couldn't hear the rest of their conversation but what I know and can pick from their conversation is that, they actually turned down a whopping sum of 1 trillion who does that? Oh yeah, some young boys did that lol.

I actually gave the situation more thought and asked myself if I'd drink the water for all the money in this world 😂 it's damn tempting but for someone who can't bear the smell of the gutter and could throw up anytime, I'm definitely not one that could do such an experiment but I'll cry for missing out on having that money. It will be a sight to behold if one actually agrees to drink the water for the money... Immediate death! So I think.

But come to think of it, why would one be dared to drink such water and not to do something else for that money? Why do one have to do silly things to be eligible for big prizes? This world is crazy indeed but any who decides to do the silly thing is crazier!

So I'll ask you now, will you drink that gutter water for a million dollar?

Ps: Just as the young boys didn't have a billion naira to give out, I don't have a million dollar to give out either so its best you choose not to do it (I'm helping you, you can thank me later).
