Nope, I was not that lucky because five minutes later, Jax and Austin had dog shock collars on their upper arms, on top of all those muscles. Each man sat in a chair in the backyard, with a glass full of beer in the same hand that the shock collar was on.

I cleared my throat. “Alrighty, after some discussion, we have found out that you both have a fondness for the television show, ‘The Office.’ So, Liz and I, as the judges of this contest, have decided that show will be the trivia used in this shock collar challenge.”

“I’m going to smoke you, Jax!” Austin laughed.

“In your dreams, Buddy.”

“Liz will read the questions from her phone, and if you are correct, you get a point.” I held up the controller. “If you’re stupid, zap zap.”

Liz waved her hand in the air. “If you get an answer wrong, you have to take a drink of your beer while you’re being electrocuted.” She giggled. “I love this fuckin’ game!”

“Any questions, gentlemen?” Even though shirts were on, I was really looking forward to witnessing what might have been the best trivia contest in the history of the world.

“No questions, but you’re both a little meaner than I thought.” Jax flashed a smile that sent a little zing down south.

“Are we ready?” Liz clapped her hands, and I realized I might just love her. “First question goes to Jax. Who was Pam engaged to before Jim?”

“Easy peasy, Roy.” Jax gave himself a high-five.

“This is a tough one,” Liz winked at me. “Who came up with ‘Suck it’?

“Of course, it was David Wallace. Now Jax can suck it!” Austin laughed.

“Nice. Next question goes to Jax. What did Michael burn his foot on?”

“Crap, I don’t know!” Jax looked stressed as we all roared with laughter. “Wait! Umm, a fire, curling iron, car explosion!”

Liz was ecstatic. “Wrong, wrong, and wrong! Madison, I believe you’re up.”

I felt the evil grin cross my face, and I made no attempt to hide it. “You ready big boy?”

Jax rolled his eyes, and I hit the controller. There was a quiet hum as he started to bring his beer to his mouth. He let out a laugh, even though his arm started shaking and some beer sloshed onto the ground. “I am lit!” He took a drink, laughing so hard beer shot out his nose.

Liz was laughing hysterically too. “OMG, I’m going to pee!”

I bit my cheeks in an attempt to stop laughing. I failed.

“Okay, back to Austin.” Liz raised her eyebrows. “What does Dwight always keep an extra pair of in his car for special occasions?”

Austin shook his head. “Hell! Uh, underwear?”

“Nope, another guess?” Liz was beaming as I held up the controller.

“Peanut butter? Fire extinguisher? No, coconut rum!”

I could barely spit the next words out. “Well, that’s weirdly specific but so wrong. You ready?”

A quiet hum again as Austin brought his beer to his lips. He let out a yell when his arm started shaking, and more beer sloshed onto the ground.

“Damn! I felt that in my ass!” Austin took a drink and hopped up.

“Alrighty, Jax. What color does Angela find ‘whorish’?”

“Damn it, I don’t know. Uh, magenta?”

Liz shook her head. “Nope.”

Jax laughed. “Plum! Peach! Periwinkle!”
