On winning a phone

On winning a phone

This Christmas I've been given an incentive. And it is this:

If I want to upgrade my rubbish mobile phone to something with web access, touch screen and built-in cattle prod, I've got to lose some weight.

The slogan I have been given is: "Lose a stone, win a phone."

After a month of so, it's all turning out to be rather too much like hard work, so I'm going to aim for the runner's up prize instead.

"Lose a gram, win a ham."

Poetry's loss was the internet's gain - I suggest a much easier task with a better reward:

Plant a rhizome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome
(e.g. bung a piece of ginger in some potting mix)
Win an Iphone!

Lose 20 pounds, have no one notice.

Oh. Wait . That's just me, then.

Pass the ham.
