I just won a Nobel Prize!

So overdue I demanded two!
I have won about four dozen writing awards, but the big one has always eluded me. However, I was at the West Hollywood Halloween Festival — the largest in the world — and while I was oogling the many costumes featuring fishnet stockings, I ran straight into a couple in handsome business suits. Before I could apologize, the woman asked, “Do you want a Nobel Prize?” A button on her lapel said, “Nobel Prize Committee,” and she scribbled my name on one of the many Nobel Prize certificates on her clipboard.
This is America, after all! Anyone can grow up to be president … and win a Nobel Prize
