- "I got one for ya," said the fat man in the bowling shirt
- sitting next to Mike at the bar. "I'll bet you a dollar
- I can pass this sixteen pound bowling ball through my body."
- He hefted a dingy bowling bag for Mike to see.
-
- Mike collected his matchsticks and said, "You're on." He
- new there had to be some trick -- there always was -- but
- what the hell, it was only a dollar.
-
- The fat man lifted the bowling ball from the bag, raised it
- over his head, and lowered it onto his upturned lips.
- Suddenly, the man's jaw unhinged like a snake trying to
- swallow a rat. To everyone's stunned amazement, the ball
- slid into the man's mouth. He lowered his now horribly
- misshapen head and smiled a hideous smile a Mike. The ball
- appeared momentarily between his teeth and then, with a
- gulp, was gone. "Pay up," said the fat man.
-
- It was several seconds before Mike could find the words
- to reply. "You're only halfway there."
