Suzanna: Hey, the back of the line is over there.



Ivan: I was here. I just stepped out of line for a minute to get some cash.



Suzanna: Yeah, right. I don’t remember you being in line ahead of me.



Ivan: Come on. Let’s do this. We’ll flip 1 for it. If it’s heads, I win and I get to get back into line. If it’s tails, you win and I’ll go to the back of the line.



Suzanna: All right. I’ll take those odds 2. You’re on.



Ivan: Here goes…Oh, it’s heads! I win.



Suzanna: I guess it’s your lucky day.



Ivan: I guess so. How about going double or nothing?



Suzanna: What are the stakes?



Ivan: If it’s tails and you win, I go to the back of the line and I have to buy you a drink when we get inside. If It’s heads and I win, I get in back in line in front of you and you buy me a drink.



Suzanna: So, no matter what happens I have to have a drink with you?



Ivan: That’s the idea. What do you say?



Suzanna: Okay, you talked me into it. Let’s see if your luck will hold up.



Ivan: I’ve got a good feeling it will.
