Two mayors made a bet on the outcome of the Vegetable Bowl, the annual football game between their high school teams. If Arvadas team lost, the mayor of Arvada would send the mayor of Boulder ten pounds of sliced potatoes, ready for frying. If Boulders team lost, the mayor would send ten pounds of sliced tomatoes, ready for sandwiches or salads.
Unfortunately, before the game started, the mayor of Boulder overheard the Arvada mayor tell someone: They grow the worst tomatoes. If they lose and send us their tomatoes, Im going to give them all to my pig. The mayor of Boulder was upset to hear this, because he thought Boulders tomatoes were the best in the state. So he gave the matter some thought.
The following week, the big game was played. Boulder lost its star quarterback in the first half when he tripped over a cheerleader and sprained his big toe. The quarterback glumly watched the rest of the game from the bench. His team ended up losing, 38 to 12. The two mayors shook hands after the game, and the Arvada mayor said, Im really looking forward to those tomatoes. As the Boulder team left the stadium, some unhappy fans threw ripe tomatoes at them.
A week later, the mayor of Arvada received a package of beautifully sliced tomatoes. He took them straight to his pig, which gobbled them right up. That night the mayor of Boulder asked his wife if Arvadas mayor had called. No, she said. Why? Because I mixed a pint of hot sauce into the tomatoes and I wanted to know how his pigs doing.
