I Dare You To.

Tony was the best at dares. Someone said, I dare you to eat 40 hot dogs in 24 hours. And you know what? Tony did. He didn't hesitate. He bought 40 hot dogs and ate them all in a single day. He didn't ask questions. He didn't think about it. He just said, Alright.

That's the kind of guy Tony was. Sometimes, it got him into trouble. But it always seemed like Tony knew what Tony was doing, no matter what the circumstances. If Tony were a superhero, I think the dare would be his Kryptonite. I mean, what if someone said, I dare you to tell me all your weaknesses. Tony would tell this someone his weaknesses, because he was dared. What if someone said, I dare you not to save the woman on top of that burning building, I bet Tony wouldn't save that woman. That woman would die. That woman would scream, But why won't you save me Tony! And Tony would scream back, Because I was dared not to!

So maybe Tony would be a villain. A villain I miss. It's not very often that someone misses a villain. But I miss Tony.

Today, at the diner, a customer couldn't decide between an omelet or buckwheat pancakes. So I said, I dare you to order an omelet. And the customer ordered buckwheat pancakes instead!

Things are so unpredictable when you toss a dare into the equation.

But they weren't for Tony.
