So lets say you were Efren Reyes and you just won more money than your countries GDP, how would you spend it? On promoting pool? On luxury goods for yourself? On your Phillipino charities? etc...
I'd give it to all of the world orginazations of pool for sanctioning fees. That way maybe the next tournament that draws 7 B players can pay at least their entry fee back to the winner.Njhustler1 said:So lets say you were Efren Reyes and you just won more money than your countries GDP, how would you spend it?

breakfast & sitting across from us were Efren who
had won everything that year, Santos, & 2 others.
Maybe 4 other people in there altogether.
My buddy yelled over to Efren & said " As much
as you won this weekend, you could buy all of us
breakfast in here, couldn't you?"
Efren laughed and said " Yeah...... I could."
Don't be too sure of his benevolence.
DoomCue said:Don't confuse benevolence with stupidity. Efren has consistently helped people less fortunate than he throughout his career - his not treating you to breakfast is proof that he's no idiot. Only an idiot would give away his money to someone who could obviously afford his own breakfast.

You were just being facetious, right?hondo said:Don't be too sure of his benevolence.
Sorry, I didn't catch that in your post. I'll try to be less literal....hondo said:Yeah, you're right. I was actually just being a little
facetious, hoss.
Nah, no need to apologize...it's Hondo's fault! After 850 posts or so, you would think that Hondo would know by now the standard practice and etiquette of including emoticons (smiley faces) when being either facetious or sarcastic. Obviously, it is very difficult to sense subtle sarcasm from reading text alone. Therefore, a simple smiley face can clear up a lot of confusion concerning the intent of the post. It's just standard practice, and Hondo should be the one apologizing to you...AND to all of us posters who read his ambiguous post!DoomCue said:Sorry, I didn't catch that in your post.

I think he gave you the perfect answer.
