Two old guys who won ribbons each year made a bet as the contest drew near: If just one of them placed, then the other, in haste, would eat two quarts of chili, with beer. For a change, kudos came to just one. The hot chili with beer was no fun for the poor loser Bart who for two days did fart while Joe Lee was hailed second to none.
