Members fantasticsound Posted March 31, 2006 Members Share Posted March 31, 2006 You Bet Your Life was the source of the following obvious questions. The point of asking one of these was to ensure a contestant who had failed to win any money left with something, yet all of these were answered incorrectly at one time or another.

Members blue2blue Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I couldn't have got a single one right. And I thought I had a pretty good storehouse of useless knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Monday is starting out in a very humbling fashion. If I didn't work for myself I'd call in stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fantasticsound Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 You mean like, "A surgeon rushes into emergency surgery to operate on a man but says, "I can't operate on this man. He's my son." The surgeon is not the man's father. Who is the surgeon? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And the answer is, of course, his mother.
