Clearly what a town like that needs is a booth set up downtown where people can stop by and “Meet a Black Person.”

Thankfully, Improv Everywhere made this happen…and it’s not awkward…no, not awkward at all.

Also, this might be a magnet, not a sticker, which would be very fitting since the ability to remove it on a whim makes the gesture of placing it on a bumper even emptier…

The odds given to this bet where they were playing in Vegas were 50/1. So his prize was $50,000.

In addition to this bet, Mr. Lyons reports that his friend made another $8,500 with the much safer (though still quite risky) bet that there would be a safety at some point in the game.
