“I Dunno, - Whadda You Think?” |
Charlie and I met for coffee at Terrible Mike’s restaurant in the Gold Coast casino and, as luck would have it, we were talking about his chronic inability to stick with a decision. He’d been betting on my opinions for a couple weeks, and I’d just had a few losing days. Charlie was ready to trash the whole idea of getting my opinions. He thought we should try some other System Of The Week he’d heard about.
I knew the losing streak was a common and natural phenomenon that would pass, and that we would end up winners over the long haul. I reminded him of past bumps in the road and tried to shore up his resolve. Of all people, you’d think a stockbroker would understand short term fluctuations, but not Charlie. Moreover, he denied having any sort of problem with indecision at all. So far as Charlie was concerned, if I had three or four losing days in a row I should try using somebody else’s opinions.
As we talked, Charlie decided to go to the counter and order a fish sandwich. He offered to buy me one - "You should try ’em, J. R. They’re great" - but I passed. When he came back he had a hamburger.....Somebody touted him off the fish.
