She told me this tale from a number of years back.
Dead pools were right big business in the States at this time.
Remember one of the young Kennedy men was killed flying (and crashing) a wee plane a few years back? Canna mind his name, anyway, apparently when he bought the plane the guy who sold it to him sussed immediately that, in spite of having his private pilot's licence, Young Kennedy was fu ck ing clueless.
He tried to dissuade him from buying the plane, but young Kennedy was insistent.
So the plane seller boy went out and found a nationwide, big bucks Dead Pool and lumped on.
Made something like quarter of a million.
