You are so right....it never gets old. It is like that one joke that always make you laugh no matter how many times you have heard it and no matter how old it is.

Wow...That's awesome! The Bridge Jumpers are flying!!!
And you are right..it never gets old.

Good catch. This is always a mind bender, lol.

Not often you see "jumpers" in a "cheaper" race like that...kudos to the winning trainer/jockey combo...which was the same!

you guys love it when someone loses multiple tens of thousands of dollars?

y'all would probably make good prison guards.

On a sucker bet? You better believe it.

I'd laugh just as hard if someone took 10000-1 odds for $100,000 that a nuclear holocaust would terminate the world by Friday.

I have no shame in enjoying watching a cop-out sucker bet make someone lose money.

Does that make me mean?

I guess I just don't see the comparison between losing 50K on a sucker show bet and an old woman dying.

They aren't really in the same universe as far as bad analogies go.

Thankfully it happened in New York. At least the poor schnook gets to choose from a lot of bridges. Anyone who chases $2.10 deserves whatever they get.
