101 Ways for Don to "Sleep with the fishes".
Don looked at the title of the manuscript and couldn't believe his eyes. This had to be a practical joke, correct? I mean who in their right mind would mail him such a manuscript. First of all he wasn't even a Hollywood agent, so how did he get on the mailing list?
Decision time, read the document or throw it out? He was an expert at discovering clues to catch the crook so this should be a piece of cake. So he carefully flipped the first page open, scanning the writing for clues.
Option One. Ask Don over for a barbecue. While he is wandering out back hand him a beer. Count how many beers are needed to achieve the desired goal. If you can accomplish the task with only two beers add ten bonus points.
Score 2 points – If Don voluntarily winds up at the pond without any directions from you.
Score 10 points – For tumbling into the pond and getting his shirt wet.
Score 25 points – For soaking the hair.
Score 50 points – If only Don gets drenched.
Option Two. Get Don to help with the redecoration or updating of the Koi pond.
Score 2 points – If you get Don's help without asking.
Score 10 points – If his shoes get wet.
Score 25 points – If you get him to help move the heavy rock all by himself.
Score 50 points – If Don finishes the above tasks in one hour.
Don raised one eyebrow as he couldn't believe that someone had circled option two complete. However the person was obliviously upset over his total score. For the mystery person had scribbled in the margins, unfortunately I lost points because I helped him complete the tasks.
Option Three. Possible every day tasks which somehow ends up in the Koi pond.
Score 2 points – If Don doesn't go through the mail.
Score 10 points – If Don pays for pizza.
Score 25 points – If Don watches a Chick Flick.
Score 50 points – If Don plays the piano while everyone watches.
Score 100 points – If Don and his team plays strip poker.
Option Four. Have a party. Invite Don over.
Score 2 points – If Don's beer is flat.
Score 10 points – If his second beer is flat and hot.
Score 25 points – If someone chases him into the pond.
Score 50 points – If a Koi is discovered in his shirt.
Score 100 points – If Don is drunk, sings, and he strips down to his boxers.
Don had read enough and he flipped through the pamphlet. His mind raced as he thought about the culprits engaging in this little adventure. Now all he had to do was figure out the perfect payback.
Oh yes, little brother…you're going to pay!
A/N: Well, I couldn't come up with the entire 101 ways...but perhaps one of you can?! Hope you enjoyed it. Best I could do with the formatting, hopefully it works.
