Jim Garrison, a Colorado computer engineer, won a free cruise, but he had to get fired to win the prize.
Garrison, fired from his job for eating two pieces of pizza left over from a company meeting, won a contest sponsored by Simplyfired.com, which solicited the "most outrageous" stories about how people lost their jobs.
Garrison, who won a free cruise that will include semi-celebrities fired from Donald Trump's show The Apprentice.
The runners-up included these bizarre stories: a furniture mover who got fired after he and a co-worker were caught fencing with some adult sex toys that they found in a customer's bedroom; a worker who misunderstood a manager's instructions to send some sensitive data to microfilm and e-mailed it to a "Michael Finn" instead; and a warehouse worker found doing perverse things with the prosthetics made by his employer.
