A semi-gracious winner, at best

About 28 years ago, I won a soft rock station's elevator music contest for identifying an easy listening instrumental cover of  Peter Cetera and Cher's "After All."  After congratulating me, the DJ asked, "So, is there anything you'd like to say to the other people in the elevator?"  Caught off guard, I responded, "Oh, Jesus Christ..."  "Uh, never mind, then," he replied.

In retrospect, I wish I'd had the presence of mind to just say, "No, thank you."
