I heard that Stephen Harper, Canada's Prime Minister, and Barack Obama, President of the United States, had a wager on the results of the game between their two countries for the Olympic gold medal in women's ice hockey. The loser was to give the winner a case of beer.
Now that's my kind of bet.
With time running down in the final period and the U.S. ahead 2-0, it looked like Mr. Harper should start shopping for some very fine Canadian beer to send to Washington. But then within the last three minutes of the game, Canada scored two goals, and in the sudden-death over-time period, they scored again to win the game and the gold medal.
I hope Mr. Obama sends Mr. Harper a case of Blatz.
