From: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/the-worst-game-show-answers-ever-14662992.html

As a little light relief, one of our readers has compiled a list of some of the worst answers ever to gush from the mouths of game show contestants... enjoy.

UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE (BBC2)
Jeremy Paxman: What is another name for 'cherrypickers' and
'cheesemongers'?
Contestant: Homosexuals.
Paxman: No. They're regiments in the British Army who will be very upset with you.

BEG, BORROW OR STEAL (BBC2)
Jamie Theakston: Where do you think Cambridge University is?
Contestant: Geography isn't my strong point.
Theakston: There's a clue in the title.
Contestant: Leicester.

PHIL WOOD SHOW (BBC GMR)
Wood: What 'K' could be described as the Islamic Bible?

Twisted Zen teaching someone forwarded me in email.

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for
I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact,  
just piss off and leave me alone.                                         
2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.
3. No one is listening until you fart.                                    
4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.                
5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.                      
6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a  
couple of mortgage payments.                                              
7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.   
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their  
shoes.                                                                    
8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.               
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and
he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.                             
10. If you lend someone  $20 and never see that person again, it was      
probably well worth it.                                                   
11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.           
12. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield           
13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.                      
14. Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes    
from bad judgment.                                                        
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.                                       
16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one  
works.                                                                    
17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are       
moving.                                                                   
18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.   
19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our ass ... then
things just keep getting worse.                                           
20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Luck Matters! (and how!?!)


With a pile of 300 resumes on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, my boss told me to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the rest. "Throw away 250 resumes?"
I asked, "What if the best candidates are in there?"

"You have a point," he said. "But then again, I don't need people with bad luck here."
