I almost, but not quite won the bet

Now, keeping in mind I have not worn a bathing suit in years, this is the conversation in which I almost, but not quite won a bet the other night.

Andi: "you did NOT take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit." She shoos the kid away from the computer.
Me, "Yes, I did."
Andi: "You did NOT take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit." (shoots me an unbelieving look while and starts typing)
Me: "Yes, I did. I promise." I look at her sweetly.
Andi: "You expect me to believe you took a picture of yourself in a bathing suit and PUT IT ON THE INTERNET? Yeah, right." She is such a skeptic at times.
Me: calmly, "Yes, I did, and I'm deeply offended that you don't believe me."
Andi: "Well, no offense, but I think you are lying to me." (How could I possibly be offended by that when it was said in love?)
Me: "Wanna bet?"
Andi: "Yeah - how much?"
Me: "A hundred buc......." And THEN the dang picture pops up. And I get that "you are such a dork" look from Andi. Dang it. Where's dial up when you need it? I could have used her money to buy more her PEZ.
