Hi y'all again,
This conversation was overheard in the Grade Two lunch room at Parliament House. Two of the grade two kids, who'd been arguing in a nasty way for a long time were heard to have this conversation :
Tony said to Bill that he was getting tired of winning everything and had thought about doing something else.
Bill replied that he too was tired of the talk and abuse games they regularly played and wanted a change. He said "How about, this afternoon, we play Monopoly?
Tony replied "Sorry Bill I can't play Monopoly if you suggested it. I'm the Leader here and all ideas must come from me. Now if you withdraw that suggestion I could suggest the game myself, OK?
Bill said "OK Tony, I withdraw the idea to play Monopoly".
Tony "Hey Bill, could I suggest a game of monopoly this afternoon mate?"
"Bill, "Of course Tony, I love Monopoly. Never seem to win though".
"Ah, Bill, you have to pay people to make sure you win. Didn't you know that?"
Bill replied "But it's only a game and the rules are printed on the games doco and there's nothing to allow anyone to pay others to let you win."
"Yes Bill, but there's nothing written PREVENTING that either you know. So it's legit. And I have to tell you that I have a secret about playing Monopoly which makes it certain I will win".
"What secret Big Ears? That sounds like cheating to me!"
"Sorry Shorty, it's a secret so I can't tell you mate.
"What, you bloody cheat? Do you expect me to play the game with you BEFORE you tell me what this secret stuff is? New rules I bet. By the way, was your Dad a bat or an elephant, in particular, Dumbo, the Flying Elephant?"
"Yes, that's how the game will go Shorty.I'm in charge as most kids voted for me for the boss job so stick that in your bum.. And is it true what they say about people with Shorty legs?"
"You may have won that vote mate but people still voted for me and they expect I get a fair go at everything. As to the short legs, in fact my legs are longer than yours so how about you tell me if that rumour is true? Before you mention the size of my head I should tell you that I do have a big head, mainly the top half and that is to accomodate my MENSA sized brain. Your head is actually very small if the ears were removed and I doubt you could fit the brain of a pigeon in there mate. So, speak up, what's your big secret?"
"Billy, I've already told you I can't, not allowed to but just this once I will as long as you promise to never tell anyone".
"Of course Tony".
"Well Bill, the secret is that I get $2000 when I pass go. You get $200. I also start with all the brown, red, yellow and green properties plus Mayfair and Park Lane. How's that for a secret?"
"Tell ya what Big Ears, with those new additions to the rules nobody but you can win so go play with yourself as you usually do. And, Up Yours too Dumbo". Bill walked off to ring a journo he knew.
