I'm playing Jeopardized on Synchronet currently & doing pretty well. I love trivia; I'm even pretty good at US History & Geography!

The most famous,of course, finally admitted to by the host,was on an old "Newlywed Game"; the question was "Where was the lasrt place you made whoopie?"; she was emnbarassed, bhut here husband, who had his answer face-down, on a card, said, "Go ahead, dear, we want to win the trip(or money); tell the truth." She firmed her resolve, looked Bob right in the eye & said, "that'd be in the butt, Bob!"; pandemonium ensued. . .

I really hope not -- I'd have a hard tiime adjusting my eating habits & chiocs so drastically (I'm easing into it -- I no longer eat 12 yeast doughnuts in a sitting--maybe 2 at most) (Homer voice): Mmmmm, donuts.... Q: What do you call a pastry that is a priest? A: A Holey Donut! Q: What do you call a cute donut? A: A-dough-able. Q: Why did the clock in the donut shop run slow? A: It always went back four seconds (me, too) Q: What did the pastry chef say to his unsupportive father? A: “Donut hole me back.” Q: What do you call uncivilized donuts? A: Bavarians. Q: I allow myself only one donut per year. A: This morning I had 433 B.C., 1731AD, and 1952AD.
