<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catman, post: 32718, member: 1979&quot;]I loved the story.. It makes me wonder what our schools are turning out.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; One night I was surfing the channels and hit out local, University of Nevada, channel and they had a make shift game show on. I stopped to watch a bit. here&#039;s what happend.</p><p><br /></p><p>3 contestants and the show MC.</p><p><br /></p><p>MC &quot;Last question of the night, contestants&quot;.&quot; Whose portrait is on the current five cent coin.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Contestant #1 -- &quot;James Madison&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; MC &quot;sorry no&quot;</p><p>Contestant #2 -- &quot;Ben Franklin&quot;&nbsp; MC &quot;no, looks like we got a tough one&quot;</p><p>Contestant #3 -- &quot;Paul Revere &quot;&nbsp; MC &quot;I&#039;m sorry everyone got that question wrong. The answer is George Washington&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I almost fell out of my seat. I pick up the telephone and called the station and asked to speak to the MC. This is easy with a university station. When he got on the phone this is how the conversation went.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me, &quot;Hello Mr. MC. I was just watching your game show and wanted to make a comment on it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>MC&nbsp; &quot;Great we really like feedback.!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Me &quot; Well I got some bad news for you. The portrait that appears on a nickel is not George Washington it&#039;s Thomas Jefferson..&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>MC &quot; Oh No sir your wrong.&quot;</p><p>Me &quot; Do you know what&#039;s on the back of the same nickel?</p><p>He must have taken a nickel out of his pocket.</p><p>He said &quot; Yes sir. There is a building with the word Monticello under it&quot;</p><p>Me, &quot;did you know that the Monticello is the home of Thomas Jefferson? Why would they put Washington on the front and the home of Thomas Jefferson on the back.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>MC &quot;sir, maybe you didn&#039;t know but George Washington use to visit Thomas Jefferson all the time.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>ME, your right I didn&#039;t know that. Thanks. Good night.</p><p><br /></p><p>catman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
