"Well then Jimbo it is. Jimbo, can you tell us what you would do with the million dollars if you walk away with the grand prize tonight?"
"A buddy of mine from the Navy has a bar on St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands and needs an investor to expand, so I'll move there, join up with him, and never work another day in my life."
"Now that sounds like a plan. Our other contestant is Bob Kostmeyer from Del Ron, Texas. Bob used to work for Energicom, infamous as the largest corporate failure in history-"
(boos and hisses from the audience)
"-now hold on there, folks, Bob was one of the good guys and was not indicted like his bosses. In fact, Bob, you were another victim of that gigantic scamola, weren't you?"
"Exactly right, Tom. I lost everything when the company went down: my high paying job, my beautiful home, my pension, and worst of all, my medical insurance for me, my wife, and my son Dale, who is eleven and has leukemia and is in desperate need of medical care. I've sold everything else we had and we've exhausted our savings on Dale's medical bills to keep him alive and I'm down to my last ten thousand and we need one hundred thousand dollars pronto or Dale won't live to see his upcoming twelfth birthday."
"My, that's a heart breaker of a story, Bob. So you're willing to risk your own life to come up with the money to save your son."
"That's it, Tom."
"How about that, folks, is that a real dad, or what?"
(tumultuous applause and cheering from the audience)
"All right. You both know how the game is played, but before we start the contest we have a new feature on this week's program which we hope will add another dimension to the show. We've invited three world class psychics to join us this evening so let's meet them. Don Nardo, why don't you introduce our panelists?"
"I'll be glad to, Tom. First, from Santa Barbara, California, the psychic to the stars, staff soothsayer for The National Enquirer , and George Michael's personal astrologer and skincare adviser, let's greet Tanya Featherbell."
"Welcome, Tanya."
"Hi, Tom, thanks for inviting me on the show."
"Next, from Salem, Massachusetts, a man whose family came over on the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock, let's welcome Hiram Josiah Smith. Though many of his forebears perished during the Salem witch trials of 1692, Hiram has followed in the family tradition and has been consulted by several presidents and first ladies."
"So have I."
