I’ve always said that gambling makes everything better, but I never thought to apply it to something that already brings me joy: Charlie Sheen getting fired from “Two and a Half Men.” Fortunately, the bookies at Paddy Power are taking bets on how Charlie Harper will exit the show when the CBS sitcom returns with Ashton Kutcher in Sheen’s place:
Drives his car off a cliff 11/10
Leaves via airport with Rose 5/4
Gets shot in a crime of passion 3/1
By accidental poisoning 6/1
Gets hit by lightning 14/1
Surfing accident 20/1
Jail sentence 25/1
Joins a monastery 50/1
Taken into the Witness Protection Program 50/1
Gets lost at sea 66/1
A piano falls on him 200/1
Elope with Bertha 250/1
The best thing about this is that Paddy Power is taking other possibilities by request. I’m already thinking about putting putting $50 on “Drug overdose.” Or “raped to death in prison.” Or “instantaneous death from super-AIDS.” Or “trampled by bulls in Pamplona, then spending 18 months learning how to walk again before losing genitals to office shredder, then losing an agonizing 30-month battle with rectal cancer.” I’m just spit-ballin’. Feel free to use these, CBS.

I got $20 on getting shot in crime of passion combined with driving off a cliff combined with getting hit by lightening. I like those odds. And to see that would be the only way I’d ever tune in to 2 1/2 Men.
Pulling a “David Carradine”: 3/2
Give me fifty on autoerotic asphyxiation.
The fat kid stabs him while fighting over the last piece of pizza or transaction with hooker goes south and is killed by her pimp.
Leaves via airport with Rose 5/4. This seems like the best bet listed. Rumors are that they want to ‘leave the door open’ for a possible future return or guest spots in case the Ashton character does not work out and ratings drop too much. This would also make a lawsuit much less likely.
I’ll take “cocaine cut with rat poison leads to stripper/hooker injecting him with a needle full of bad heroin instead of epinephrine” but I want to parlay that with the same thing happening to him in real life.
Gotta be crushed to death by that stupid piano, right? I’d take that at 3/1.
Whoops, didn’t see that it was at 200/1. I’m an idiot.
He says his home planet needs him and he flies away.
Mr. Furley accidentally backs over him with his car? I’m lost here.
Die? Charlie Sheen? Please. Notice Amy Winehouse died BEFORE Charlie Sheen. Bitch couldn’t hold her meth like Big Chuck.
I was wondering how this could be the first gambling-enhanced thing that brings you joy, but then I remembered you’re a Seahawks fan.
that’s the face I make when I smell my own farts.
… and that’s 2 comments about smelling farts today.
Takes his trusty labrador to free the trapped Chilean minors and dies in a taxi ride from the airport to Santiago. Sadly he left everything to the dog, who survived, forcing John Cryer and Chazz Bono have to move out of the house – laugh track ensues.
i got 5 on he ascends into heaven
Ummmm, don’t mean to be the buzz kill here, but didn’t Chuck Lorre already announce that he was going to kill Sheen by having him drive off a cliff??
Taco Jones beat me to it
