CONTEST SALUTES ODDBALL MARRIAGE PROPOSALS

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- People come up with the craziest ideas -- especially when it come to proposing marriage. A contest to find the "Most Imaginative Marriage Proposal" in America has turned up some real doozies. The winner is a Spokane, Washington, who plans on hiring a mime to post a succession of one-word messages on the backs of unsuspecting pedestrians. As they walk by his girlfriend, the words will spell out "Will you marry me Denise?" Other offbeat entries submitted to the Keepsake Diamond Jewelry contest include... -- An agricultural scientist who hopes to pop the question with a ring implanted in a chicken egg. -- A man who plans to plant a flower garden in the shape of the words "Will you marry me." -- And, finally, there's the guy who says he'll pop the question with a homemade fortune cookie that will read "A genuine and kind man is going to propose to you."
