It's cold, the winter's dragging on far too long and on top of it, the price of gas keeps rising higher than your grandpa's pants!  That's why CHOM is throwing you a bone by rewarding you with a $100 gas card to ease the pain and reward you for being such a great detective.

Tune in to the Afternoon Rock Ride with Bilal every weekday at 3:40pm and listen for the signal.  If you're caller-9 at 514-790-0977, you get to play "Dead Guy in an Envelope" for a chance to win.

Ask the Butt-Man a question about who the mystery "dead guy" could be (YES or NO answers only!) and then you take a stab at it.  If you guess correctly, you're going to the show!

So, who could it be?  Ask your friends.. maybe they can help.  Good luck!
