I went to a basketball game over the weekend where they had one of those contests where fans try to make free throws for prizes. The prize was - literally, I kid you not, I didn't think this existed anymore - one R/T ticket anywhere in the USA on Greyhound.

The clown who was selected to participate airballed the free throw, and I'm not convinced he didn't do it on purpose. I'd be afraid that if I made the free throw, I'd somehow be contractually obligated to actually take that horrifying trip.

Wonder how long a transcon would take? You'd never b*tch about United Economy Minus again...
