Joe brought the group to a dimly lit bar. The only thing that could be clearly seen was the pool table that was under a hanging light. The teens walked up to the table and huddled around it.
"For your first challenges, you had a partner, someone to goad you on. Well now kiddies it's time to fly solo."
Al shook his head. "Yes, I know all about that. Although Jen is there with me in my head."
"Well she must get pretty lonely up there. Anyway, your next stunt is, of course, the gross eating thing. And this," Joe pulled back a curtain to reveal a bowl full of a whiteish liquid. "Is your delectable dinning this evening. Since we were getting it anyway, we decided to get it from an aptly named creature. This," Joe pointed at the bowl. "Is sperm whale sperm. And this," Joe motioned toward the pool table. "Is how you're going to find out how much of it you're going to have to eat. However many balls you have left after three shots is how many tablespoons of this stuff you're going to have to eat. We've randomly chosen who gets to go first and Seth, you're up."
Seth walked around the table for a few laps, then bent over and took a swing at the balls. The que ball went up and touched the top of the triangle.
Joe's eyebrow cocked upward. "I think you're going to have to hit them a little harder than that."
Seth shrugged. "Nah." He went around the table and took his second shot. This time the first ball moved about an inch. "Oh, uhm...darn." He took his last shot and the first ball moved about a centimeter. "Oh shoot! I didn't get any in." he said with a smile that made all the other contestants nervous. He went over to the table, measured himself out 15 tablespoons of the stuff, and downed it like a shot. He looked over to the shocked faces beside him. "What? This stuff is SO good. I've got a bottle of it in my fridge. Use it more than ketchup. And it's very good for your complexion." he said while rubbing his cheek.
For the first time, Joe actually looked like he might throw up. "My God man, what level of disturbed are you at now?"
