Well, I don’t think it’s giving too much away to tell you that Slim does in fact hustle his best friends.

And re: the frying pan thing, he later gets a second guy to agree to the same bet. The guy has heard about the first bet and secretly practiced with a frying pan. But Slim assumes the guy will have heard about it, so this time he chooses Coke bottle. Talk about getting leveled!

Hahahaha frying pan? I can’t quite believe that story altogether, but the frying pan part is priceless. The book does seem interesting to read. Looks like a fun read, I’ll be sure to check it out when I can. By the way, is it just me.. or does it seem like Slim’s the kind of person who could hustle his best friend with a smile?
