This comic made me think of a roommate I use to have. He’d suggest something that sounded reasonable and then twist it to his advantage. One I remember was when he suggested a late fee on the monthly bills. A $10 late fee sounded reasonable to me, until the first time I was late and found out how he intended to apply the fee. I thought he was going to consider the monthly funds as a lump sum payment and charge me $10 every time II was late. Instead he broke the lump sum into a separate bill for every thing. $1 for a roll of paper towels, separate bill. 50 cents for some mustard, separate bill, you get the idea. Then he started applying the money I gave him to the bills, starting with the largest and going to the smallest. That first month I was about $10 short on the lump sum I owed him and ended up with about 10 late fees (even if I was a penny short on a bill he charged me the whole late fee because I was still short). When I complained he told me it wasn’t his fault if I didn’t understand how he intended to apply the late fee. He did offer to waive the fee because of the “misunderstanding” and I took him up on the offer, but I was still out of there as soon as I was able.

Reminds me of the bet and response in Guys and Dolls. And now BC has cider in his eye.

He said fill it up with multiple rocks. However, he only got one rock in the circle. So he did not win.
