  1. “Do you accept the 10%? Or walk away with nothing?”

    I call his bluff and walk away with nothing. He’ll be back begging for an equitable distribution. And, then, I tell him, at best, he can have 49 to my 51.

  2. “DH, where you at? Didn’t you just find a great BBurg venue?”

    Yeah – swung in to this new bar in WB on Friday night called “The Whiskey Brooklyn” on N11th/Berry. Quite possibly the most “un-williamsburgish” bar in the nabe hahaha. It’s pretty large and has games and stuff.

  3. My brother the mathematician was inn town this weekend. He recounted this question posed by this years nobel laureate in economics:

    You and someone else are jointly offered $100,000. The only condition is that you and the other person must agree and how the money will be disbursed.

    You being a nice person, immediately say “This is easy. We split the money 50/50.”

    The other guy says “Absolutely not. I get 90%, you get 10%.”

    Do you accept the 10%? Or walk away with nothing?

  4. “Thanks for reminding me, I just couldn’t recall the story.”

    And, that’s precisely why we keep minutes of our meetings in the office. Right there. Behind your desk. No, shelf above where you’re looking.

  5. “That’s when they offered up Brooklyn Social because Henry Public was too new, crowded, etc.”

    Ah, then perhaps asking about Brooklyn Social might be better, if the space seems right. Thanks for reminding me, I just couldn’t recall the story.
