The Acting Game Show


Back when Ben Salem was working for a starter allowance, he wanted to take a second and experience love on fire which resulted in waking up with a cold-hearted pearl to show for on his ring finger.

“Your pal was a long shot to be a winner Ben,” Rosie picked up a spoon only to place it in the cafeteria’s soup d jour.

Feeling a little sweaty Ben felt like he had to respond, “Rosie, mia bella rossa, you are my winner.”

Hearing this made Rosie sit back with a smirk and listen to what really happened on the day when Ben was put in his place after visiting Squan’s Kingdom, a seashore spring break town and its outdoor unbridled adventure show marketed to those saving their starter allowance.

“We were all winners partying beachside,” Ben stated claiming his side to the story that in a few minutes would be discussed nationally during an entertainment show that was taped before a live audience, “I knew my no-fly zone place, but she grays the bar wearing beautiful silver jewelry.”

“And you had to have one?”

“And she gave me one,” Ben answered getting up while Rosie threw out the afternoon delight.

“Slipped it right on your finger while you were not looking,” Rosie guided Ben onto the theatrical path.

After the two big doors opened Rosie put out her hand and wished Ben good luck. “Here you go, Ben,” she mentioned while Ben fell into a state of shock.

“This is not a courtroom!” He was very confused.

“No, there was a change in the time slot, it is no longer Judge, Jury, Executioner instead its ‘So You Want A Wedding Night with Me’,” Rosie answered.

“Where are you going?”

“Visit another client who wants to be a millionaire,”

“What about me?”

“Ben, I hear there is a rumor that the parting gifts make good tax write offs,” Rosie offered, “so have fun and be honest.”
