question: If you ' ve been watching Olympic track and field you ' ve seen the victory laps . The flag held streaming behind like a Superhero cape , the big smile , the glow of victory . I had a victory of my own this past week . This was a cycling victory , not running victory since I seem to have become slightly allergic to running again but that in no way diminishes my triumph .
Q: Why does the narrator feel so proud ?

answer: They won a cycling competition .

question: So , my dinner went very well . I was joined by approximately a dozen friends at Outback Steak House ( since I so rarely go there ) and a fun time was had .

I brought that in to work and it was much better received than I expected , especially by the guys who have lightsabres in their cubes .
Q: Why did Mike get the narrator such a silly gift ?
