I Love DnD

nonono. Not Dungeons and Dragons! Deal or No Deal, baby!
Oh the human drama! If aliens came to our world and wanted to know everything they ever needed to know about us as a race, humanity should offer up any episode of DND.
1. Everyone has a story
2. We start out cheering for them
3. They begin to sweat, fret and bet their lives by round 3 for a shot at the American Dream
4. They may or may not waiver at this point, so we bring in their friends and family to bolster there resolve.
5. In complete ignorance of probabilty and tax consequences, they press on.
6. Now they feel entitled. Now they have forgotten that this is free money and that $25,ooo of windfall cash is NOT an insulting offer for 15 minutes of your time, Mr. Janitor-By-Day
7. Now you hate them and wish them only ill.
8. And you hate their stupid families too. Their only purpose is to egg this pompous ass on into total bankruptcy.
9. Now comes the fall and you are glad, glad, glad. $25 grand is now 50 bucks and there are still 3 cases to open. No Deal!
10. And now it ends and they go home and watch the DVR of their insistence upon looking into the mouth of that gift-horse on their tiny, tiny TV and wonder how much shit they are going to catch at their crap ass jobs the next day and how are they gonna spend that big fat check for one cent.
Howie Mandell exposes more truth about human nature and the soul than Freud and Jung and Kant rolled into one. I think the Banker is Satan.

I love Howie! "you have a 27 percent chance that your case holds over 100,000 dollars" Does he ever mention that they have an 83 percent chance that it holds less than 100? Of course that would not be good TV! Nice

See when I go on, I will have no problem. I know my case will have the million. I don't know why it wouldn't. I mean, I didn't come on Deal or No Deal to win 300K!! I came on for the MILLION. I earned it.
