“The Grubmier modus operandi ran true to form. This chronicler witnessed many of them. The joust always began in the same way. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are offering two thousand dollars to any man in the audience who can stay with the uncrowned champion for ten minutes.

Don’t be bashful, men, step right up and lock grips with the champ. There’s two thousand dollars awaiting you if you turn the trick.”
