What is the silliest bet you have ever lost?

So, I placed a bet with a fellow RP member. I lost so I am paying up. Couldn't find a Navy shirt, but I figured the winner would still enjoy the sight of the attire. And I always pay my debts. So, here it is: Navy Beat Army (and since the Marines fall under the Navy).......and since my Dad was a Marine, it isn't so bad to wear it.

I don't have a picture anymore, but a few years back when the Penguins beat the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup playoffs I donned a Penguins t shirt as a result of losing a bet to a friend/Shipmate on Navy Together We Served.

Not too steep a bet. Seeing your team go down to defeat probably hurt worse.

MSG Private RallyPoint Member When I went to Oregon State, I lost a bet, and had to wear an Oregon hat the day before the Civil War game. Probably the only time I ever wondered if I was gonna get my ass kicked while on campus lol.

Lucky I don't hold your note -- I would'a gotten you the shirt to wear! :)

I give you A for effort but F for going above and beyond. These days you can find the service shirts in many stores, including Cracker Barrel and sometimes Walnart. Most Navy would not consider this paid up, but still good try.

That's like asking if you breathe.. Lol. Lost many a bet in my life but most cost money not a hat.

While on deployment I bet a buddy $10 he couldn't drink rest of a jar of mustard that was sitting on a table in the mess decks. I lost the bet because he turned it up and drank it all, but I kind of won too didn't I.

I lost a bet when I was 19 years old, and for a year, once a week, I had to wear a pro-recycling shirt depicting a piece of paper that said "It turns me on when you turn me over!" - so, yes, for an entire year I wore an anal sex reference. I don't even remember what the bet was.
