    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LANSING, Mich. -- The NBA Finals could lead to a long distance dinner of Michigan or California favorites for the states' respective governors.

    Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger placed a friendly bet Thursday as the Detroit Pistons prepare to play the Los Angeles Lakers in the league's championship series.

    If Detroit wins the series, Schwarzenegger would dine on Michigan-made foods including a pasty -- a warm, baked pastry filled with meat, potatoes and vegetables. He'd get chocolate-covered cherries for dessert, washed down with a Vernor's ginger ale.

    The former movie star would have to eat the meal at his desk, wearing a Pistons jersey.

    If Los Angeles takes the crown, Granholm will receive a bottle of California wine, fresh California asparagus, an In-N-Out Burger from the California-based fast food chain, and fresh California strawberries and ice cream for dessert.

    Granholm would have to eat her meal while wearing a Lakers jersey.</div>

    See, I always thought that an inherent element of bets is that you actually lose something if you lose. This one seems extremely win-win.

    That's not much of a bet in my opinion. Kinda stupid actually.
