Years ago I was a contestant on Jeopardy. Bet it all on the last questions and got it wrong!
I wrote an article about the experience that was published in the Hartford Courant Sunday Magazine. It was funny. I got lots of encouragement to write more, and when I retired I decided to create a sort of fable about a fictional character that accomplishes many bucket list items, like playing in the Super Bowl, becoming an Apollo astronaut
More people appreciate my wiseguy sense of humor than my literary stylings(less)

“On my drive from Salt Lake City to Moab, Utah, I passed an eighteen-wheeler with mud flaps on the rear tires. The flaps were black and featured the silver silhouette of a very statuesque naked woman. I’m sure you’ve seen this artistic expression in your travels.

I wondered: has this ploy ever worked, like some kind of perverted fishing lure?”
Jim Flynn, Be Sincere Even When You Don't Mean It

“During one of his incoherent pre-game Pep talks he said he was preparing us in case we ever had to storm the beaches at Iwo Jima. Hey coach, we already won that war! He never mentioned trying to win a game, it was always about killing or hurting the other team. He did mention blood a lot. But if we ever lost, we were required to mope around like it was the worst thing to ever happen in history, and it was definitely our fault, and besides we hadn’t even killed anybody on the other team.”
