Valley Viper

You post the other ticket on Ebay for one week.
Nobody bites... until the last day. Last minute of the auction, some dude named Claude Richer buys the lonesome ticket. Not what you were looking for.
He sends you an email, "Hey. I'm big and fun. Can't wait to play with you on the sand."
After a long debate, you decide going on this vacation would be better than working.
You bite the bullet and ironically the pillow. Have fun in paradise!
