Simon: Do you know sometimes guys when I'm at the bar and I like to do my bets. You know
I do those little funny prop bets and things, when I've got the matches and the glasses
and sometimes I don't have anything. But I still like to win a drink or two.
Jillian: Okay
Simon: So let me try a couple on you that are just based around you listening to me.
Peter: Okay.
Jillian: Sounds good.
Peter: Sounds easy.
Simon: You're good at that. He's not so good. Peter, I can bet you that I can hypnotize
you.
Peter: All right.
Simon: I've been taking a course.
Peter: Oh, okay.
Simon: So that you can't count from ten to one backwards.
Peter: Ten to one backwards.
Simon: Yeah.
Peter: It sounds pretty easy.
Simon: Sounds easy doesn't it? I will snap my fingers, you'll be hypnotized.
Peter: Okay.
Simon: And you can't feel it.
Peter: Alright, we'll see. Okay so, I'm gonna start counting. 10, 9, 8, 7,6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
1.
Simon: You think you did brilliantly, didn't you?
Peter: Nothing wrong with that.
Simon: You owe me a beer.
Peter: What did I mess up?
Simon: Ten to one backwards is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Oops-a-daisy.
Peter: Oops-a-daisy.
Simon: You didn't listen to the words. With every bar bet you've got to listen to the
words.
A: Yeah.
