A Minneapolis man failed to put an exclamation point on a $1,000 first prize in a text messaging contest at the North Dakota State Fair. He settled for $200.

Beth Brevik, 32, of Minot, defeated Kevin Taylor, 30, in a sudden death playoff of cell phone users at Saturday’s contest. Taylor finished in 30 seconds, ahead of Brevik, but left off the exclamation point at the end of the phrase.

Ah what an arse, eh?
