The Kansas City Channel reports today that an argument over a Monopoly game led to a local stabbing. Sad thing is, I totally understand this story. There is nothing more frustrating than getting your ass kicked at Monopoly. However, it was an over reaction. If one of the players was really mad, instead of hurting a person they should have just broken some glass in order to strike back at a local monopoly. Actually, that's a bad idea as well. That's why it's best to play with yourself when you get bored. There are cool game pieces (ewww) and it's a good way to ensure that nobody gets hurts.
You should be able to understand this story, since the people involved were of Hispanic nationality...mental note to self, do not play monopoly with Mexicans.
ReplyDeleteI would bet that the seed of the dispute was the Free Parking rule. Another senseless board-game-related attack.
