quiz 454/update


Okay, I,m going to be brief today. Someone took me out for lunch to cheer me up and got me just a little bit tipsy. Thursday's quiz is progressing well although I seem to have ignored the question and concentrated on the specialist rounds this week. The guest round will be the Dingbats that I screwed up last week. Other than that all that is needed are 22 questions and the Faces, of which I have 17 of the 20 I need. I'm crossing my fingers for a bigger turnout this week so, I hope to see you all at The Albert on Thursday.

Joke of the Day (Thanks Hancock)

A drunken man goes to the bar and...sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over, looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and says: "I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her in the hallway buck naked. Man, she is one fine looking woman!"
The biker looks at him and doesn't say a word. His buddies are confused, because he is one bad biker and would fight at the drop of a hat.
The drunk leans on the table again and says: "I got it on with your grandma and she is good, the best I ever had!"
The biker's buddies are starting to get really mad but the biker still says nothing.
The drunk leans on the table one more time and says, "I'll tell you something else, boy, your grandma liked it!"
At this point the biker stands up, takes the drunk by the shoulders looks him square in the eyes and says,
"Grandpa,....... Go home, you're drunk
