[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2006970, member: 4910"]Each contestant on the popular game show "Jeopardy!" is traditionally afforded the opportunity by host Alex Trebek early in the program to share something interesting about him or herself. Perhaps he or she collects coins, raises funds to train rat armies, weaves kelpen oven mitts ... you know the deal. One of Monday night's challengers, however, a Boston-based physics major with the name "Dan Tran," wasted said opportunity with what could have been the lamest "Jeopardy!" anecdote ever.

Trebek then graciously offered Tran a witty rejoinder should he ever tell the story again ... and moved on to contestant No. 3. :)[/QUOTE]
