No Sir-ee Bob

One of my favorite things is doing the crossword puzzle at the union on the UofM campus while watching The Price is Right on the big screen in those big comfortable chairs. I do this every Wednesday morning. Today a kid was on and he played the game where you guess the price of some prizes within $10 in order to win cards from a big board. You automatically start with two cards, and can win up to three more. There is one letter on the back of each card, c, a, or r. If, with all your cards, you end up spelling "car," you win the car. However, at any time, you can take a cash prize worth $500 per card. Also, there are two cards on this big board that simply say "CAR." These are the instant wins. So this flamboyant, leaping kid gets the price wrong on every prize, and Bob tells him that this is the first time this has ever happened in the history of the show. Poor performance thusfar. Since there are only two cards, he figures he'll take the cash option of $1000 instead of going for the intant win. Naturally the first one he chose was the instant win, which he of course did not get. He collapsed in a fit of hysterical overacting. He then went on to win the big wheel spin, and bid within $1000 of his $27k showcase, winning that. Oh my, how he leapt. Redemption is sweet. His hetero female friends seemed quite pleased for him.
