So me and this girl have been getting together pretty regularly to play Scrabble on the weekends...

...the other day we decided to meet at a bar after work and I made a joke about how it's too bad we can't play Scrabble in the bar, hoping she'd say, "We can still play Scrabble on our cellphones!" because everybody knows about those Scrabble apps, right? (Man, I could really go for a good game of Scrabble right now if anybody's interested.)

Anyway, she didn't say anything about playing Scrabble on our cellphones. Instead, she pulled out a pen from her purse and started scribbling on a napkin. Pretty soon, I see she's challenged me to a game of Hangman!

Okay, it's no Scrabble, but whatever, I'm game.

After a few lucky guesses, I got all of the letters except one, but it was getting late and I had to cut it short to make the D train otherwise I'd be waiting all night for the next one. She said she would like to come with me on the D train so we could finish playing, but I told her that wouldn't be fair since she's way on the other side of town and her ride home would be a real pain in the ass. She said she didn't mind at all and that she could use a little pain in the ass to make things more interesting, but I think she was just being polite.

I felt bad because I realized this girl really likes word games just as much as I do, if not more. I was starting to feel a little sweet on her since we have similar interests and we get along really well. I'm really competitive, but in that moment I was willing to throw the game for her just to make her happy, so I told her her I'd make one last quick guess and then I really had to catch my train. With a wry little smirk, she said "I bet you're pretty well hung." Wrong move, lady! She was right: I only had one guess left before the hangman got me! Now she had poked the bear! I never back down from a challenge!

So, I told her I would take that bet and I immediately bet her one hundred dollars! She was shocked. Clearly, she underestimated me. Turns out, she didn't want to bet money, so I came up with a friendly wager instead. I told her the loser buys the winner a beer. She said in that case I should buy her a beer right now! More smack talk!

"We'll see who has the last laugh," I said. I folded up the napkin and I told her to keep it in her purse until next time. She threw it back at me and told me to shove it up my ass. This chick is possibly even more competitive than me! I think I've found my soulmate, fellas!

Anyway, I've been staring at this for a long time now...

It's a real head-scratcher:
