Winning A Hearty Prize


Ben Salem was on the fast track, and he decided to take the starter optional allowance package offered in a severance plan at the “Your Ticker Needed to Be Replaced Morgue”. This decision was made especially when the attendee was confirmed genius by winning a free vacation in a trivia contest.

“His competitor got a new jersey as a consolation prize to being on the closed-circuit show,” Ben bragged picking up his belongings in the locker room, “I am going to a resort place on the Aegean Sea.”

Arriving home Ben screamed, “Sweetie, stuff all you can into the Bozzini bag I gave you for Christmas,”

“Honey, wait I wanted to show you this,” his wife responded about an organ she was able to pick up on claims.

“Your Kid Macho here was a winner,” Ben pumped his chest out.

“I got that honey, just a second, I have a heart of a dreamer,” she explained.

Seeing what was in her hands Ben quickly went towards the Bozzini bag that was still under the Christmas tree. Opening it there were medical scalpels and cutting devices.

“Baby ice, I know you were claiming to be a winner tonight but baby ice.”

That is when he dumped all the surgical silver ware on the ground only to fill the container using contents including frozen water cubes idling in the freezer.

“Apparently, this transplant came from a stripper named Miss Loyalty who had a show over at the Kitty Galore place called the bow tow cat revue. Police say the romance figure in her life ripped her heart out, “how did that happen?” Ben inquired.

“Apparently, she won a contest and went to a resort on the Aegean Sea for holiday when she returned, the lover was told all she brought back was a new jersey, well it broke her heart.”

Taking a step back Ben watched the frozen squares turn bloody red, “So, Kid Macho, Ben, you said you won something tonight?”

“Yeah, honey,” Ben answered with a deadly frightful scare “this new jersey it would look really nice on you.”

Oh, that is nothing to sneeze at,” she replied closing the Bozzini bag.
