| PROMPT March 16th If you had the opportunity to compete on a television game show, which would you pick? If you won, what would you do with your winnings? I'm not a game show aficionado. I know they exist. I'm aware of a few via commercials, or news reports. I cringe as the host is bear-hugged, or lifted off their feet by overly enthusiastic participants. For some strange reason, many people choose to express their excitement with repeated jumping. Some, react as if they forgot their brains at home. Maybe it's the deer in the headlight mentality? Perhaps their brains shut down all non-essential functions such as hearing and reasoning. That oxygen still needs to reach the extremities and that wildly thumping heart. When he is home, my hubby insists upon sharing YOUTUBE clips with me, random snippets of video. He seems to like the Steve Harvey ones showcasing competitors from the Family Feud. Yes, I will admit that people say and do the strangest things in the heat of the moment. They blurt out secrets, spontaneous confessions, and mind-boggling drivel. Even the host is flabbergasted and at a loss for words at times. Okay, okay... This is a reluctant reply, but perhaps I'd choose to compete on Jeopardy. I must have a well of untapped trivia stored somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind. Of course, I'd have to practise answering questions with a question, beforehand. What is confusion, Alex. What is what am I doing here, Alex. My handicap would be the eye-hand coordination needed to strike the buzzer. That effort could potentially knock me off my feet 'cause I'm a klutz with almost no balance. Is there a game show for Pictionary? If a team event existed my hubby and I could clean up. It's not that we're the best artists in the world. We somehow have a psychic connection and we can read each other's thoughts. Hmmm, now that I'm writing this I see the absurdity. That enhanced wave length doesn't always work. For some inexplicable reason, we are often forced to use our words. Our Pictionary playing powers are awesome though. He once drew a single horizontal line and as he prepared to embellish it, I yelled out, "Silver mine." Lo and behold that was the correct answer! The couple we competed against did not possess our prowess. The poor husband drew a very detailed telephone, and still his wife had no clue as to what it could be. So, my final answer is Pictionary, I'd play that. Oh, this must be in reply to an actual television game show? Sigh, fine, I'll attempt Jeopardy. Now that I'm pumped up with the heady exhilaration of a possible win, I must consider what to do with my winnings, my bounty, my prize. Is cash awarded to the winner? Could I take home enough to pay off the credit cards? In light of this COVID 19 pandemic, could I win enough to purchase toilet paper for the unfortunate? Could I invest in toilet paper manufacturing stock? |
