BUNDERWAL EXPLAINED THE WAGER
"It is so simple as to be embarrassing. The door yonder leads out to the urinal. Look about the room; select a champion. I will do likewise. Whichever champion is last to patronize the urinal wins the game for his sponsor."

The two champions prepared to relieve themselves. Cugel's champion, glancing to the side, noticed the quality of Cugel's attention, and instantly became indignant. "What are you looking at? Landlord! Out here at once! Call the Night-guards!"
Cugel tried to explain. "Sir, the situation is not as you think! Bunderwal will verify the case! Bunderwal?"
