I think this is what happened. David tried
to sleep in and miss breakfast one morning last week. He was
muttering to himself, "don't want anymore Spam. I'm tired of
it." That's just about when Sylvia came in a grabbed him by
the arm and yanked him out of bed pulling his arm out of the
socket. Oh, he'll be fine. Sylvia will hand feed him
breakfast in bed the next few mornings. She'll cut his Spam
for him.

Duane Reagan, the Game Show Host,
made up the game 15 minutes before show time using
trivia cards from another game. Each card had a
brief story line like you would find on an inside
page of a newspaper - on ANY topic, and I do mean
ANY. The story line would be read and you would
decide if it were fact or fiction. The men were
pitted against the women in grueling competition.
Here common sense was a liability
and advanced learning shut down your mind. The more
you knew about a topic, the greater the chances of
getting the answer wrong. For crying out loud, it's
a 50/50 chance! You would think the odds would favor
getting at least one right answer!
Well Duane made up the rules as the
game progressed. raising frequent loud protests from
the raucous crowd. Our pleas were brought to
magistrate Jimmy Bellew of the rules committee.
Jimmy, however, had closed the committee for the
weekend so we were on our own. Many of the answers
were pretty iffy, but equally so on either side. Try
as we might, we could not top the fortune of the
Ladies who came out on top, not necessarily from
skill or advanced intelligence, but from the luck of
the draw. 30 to 20.
Congratulations, ladies! |
