#31: Poker Shark
Our grandparents often regale us with tales from their lifetimes, some so astonishing that we might find them hard to believe. Yet, out of respect and a desire not to disappoint or challenge their memories, we nod along, listening with a mix of wonder and skepticism.
This grandpa was always talking about the time he had won a house in Korea in a poker game. Of course, it sounded too wild to be true, and his family dismissed it as just another crazy tale. After his passing, while going through his things, they found letters and documents proving that he indeed owned a house in Korea for a while! He was telling the truth, after all.
