Answer #22. "Social Studies"

Apr 08, 2020

SPOILER ALERT

If have not read Quiz #22. “Social Studies” just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.

Here’s the answer:

What did NOT happen?

A. In a college essay, I wrote “I’d give my right arm to be Tom Seaver;”
B. In teaching coworkers about a technology tool, I repeated a Groucho Marx line, “I don’t want to be part of a group which would have me for a member;”
C. In my brain surgery quiz, I repeated a joke from a coworker’s son: “What’s the last word most people say each year?” Answer: “One;”
D. I often repeat the Lebowitz line about buying lottery tickets, “I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not;”
E. In TV news, I’ve been guided by this mantra, oft repeated, “Credibility is like virginity. You can only lose it once.”

Contrary to Lebowitz, when I buy lottery tickets it's precisely because I think I am going to win. Someone's going to win--it might as well be me.
