I have to write a limerick...

[proud gonzo]

...for extra credit in my zoology class.

Actually, we have to write either a limerick or a haiku that perfectly captures Pascal's Rule of Wagering: "When you wager, consider both the liklihood of winning, and the cost of losing."

I'm missing a first line to my limerick because i can't think of a rhyme. :mad:


blah-blah-blah blah-blah-blah blah
Consider both sides of the task
Are you certain to win?
Is your money too thin?
Weigh the odds before betting your a5s.

Young fella, put down the flask...

[PhxSooner]

something something ask...

[Ike]

there once was a man from tex-***...



eh, I got nuthin.

[proud gonzo]

I think i might have one that works:


Before making a bet bold as brass,
First consider both sides of the task
Are you certain to win?
Is your money too thin?
Weigh the odds before betting your a5s.

brass does not rhyme with task. What's wrong with flask? I put snackpacks in my backback.

[Blue]

Besides you can't link bold and brass without adding balls.

it's close enough. and flask wouldn't really fit into the point of a limerick. I mean I could say "When you're meeting a busty young lass/ keep your chin up and put down the flask" but that doesn't have anything to do with a dead old scientist's wagering rule. :rolleyes:

[Blue]

Believe me, when you're in a casino and wasted, that's when you most need to remember the wagering rule.

Turn it in. It's done. ;)

[proud gonzo]

dang, this should be a poll. do I use "Before making a bet bold as brass/ First consider both sides of the task" or do I use "When you wager, first put down the flask/ Then consider both sides of the task" ?? Quite a quandary...

[Blue]

I gotta do some laundry...

[GottaHavePride]

All right, cut that out, I mean it!

[Blue]

Both are good, BTW. If your teacher is a stiff, you might want to go with yours.

[PhxSooner]

How about
"....flask/Two questions you surely must ask/....win/...thin/something about a task or your a**"

[PhxSooner]

All right, cut that out, I mean it!

Anybody want a peanut?

he's actually pretty awesome. He wore a flying spaghetti monster shirt the other day.... and he referenced the dead parrot sketch.

So he's a God hating Monty Python geek? I wouldn't turn in a paper, I'd just smack him in the face. ;)

Which side do I bet I ask
Before making a bet bold as brass,
First consider both sides of the task
Are you certain to win?
Is your money too thin?
Weigh the odds before betting your a5s

summon the ghost of Momnma Cass...

She's sure to angle a bass...

to stuff in her fat ***...

Mrs. Gonzo please report to my office before class....this was assigned for your benefit not these ruffians benefit....

Here's one , useless perhaps, but well-intentioned.
You might be able to tweak it a bit.

"Before in winner's limelight you bask..."
Mebbe...."Ere in Vict'rys warm glow should you bask..."
Man! Bask...Task...June...Moon. This is a toughie.

If you wanna shake up the prof you could use:

"That Ace I had stashed in my panties,
proved useless, as I gamed with my chum.
When I went to play it...(dare I to say it?)
It had migrated round to my bum."

Good luck, Peege

The insect said to the bird,
"My mollusc must be a nerd."

"Though he fishes for all mammals
he eats only camels,

and his breath smells like reptilian turd."

Or you could just go with that Pascal thing.

When gambling in Zoology class
Consider both sides of the task
Are you LIKELY to win?
Is your money too thin
Can you really live with no ***?

There was an old hermit named dave
who kept a dead whore in his cave
she was minus a ***
and smelled like ****
but think of all the money he saved

[TopDawg]

When doing your homework for class
You needed some help so you asked
The SoonerFans crew
They always come through
But it's too bad you're not gonna pass

The last time I dined with the King
He did a most curious thing.
He sat on a stool,
Took out his tool,
And said, "if I play will you sing?"
