Congratulations! You’ve just won the $26.2,000 Pyramid! And what do we have for our contestant, Bob?
Bob: 4 weeks of painful walking and a reduced calorie diet so you do not completely explode from the excessive eating habit that you have developed over the last 18 weeks!
Congratulations again to our contestant! And, uh, would someone please help him off the stage?

Glad you didn’t lose your sense of humor. When did you say the Detroit Maraton was in 2007? Where were we meeting before the race ;-)
