Millionaire
Contestant Makes Worst Use Of
Lifelines Ever
NEW YORK
-
Idaho
resident Kathy
Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday
when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance
on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'
It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of
two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to
make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use
of lifelines ever.'
After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira,
Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon
she was posed with an extre
me
ly
easy $100 question. The question was: 'Which of the following
is the largest?'
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?
Im
me
diately Mrs.
Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized
that this was a question to which she did not readily
know the answer.
'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her
level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I
me
an, I'm sure I've heard of
so
me
of these things
before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three
lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her
to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon.
However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still
remained unsure.
'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclai
me
d Evans.. 'Darn. I think I better
phone a friend.'
Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question,
Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy,
who is an office assistant.
'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans,
wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got
an important question. Which of the following is the
largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans
proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten
seconds.
'Co
me
on Betsy, are
you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be
it.'
To everyone's astonish
me
nt,
the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick
'The Moon.'
'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that
bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said
Evans.
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98%
in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her
lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her
life.
'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said
the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, so
me
ti
me
s
you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is
larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with
B, an elephant. Final answer.'
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one
waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was
wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

So
me
guy bought a
new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put
it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to
good ho
me
. You want
it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without
even one person looking twice at it. He eventually
decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be
true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'
The next day so
me
one
stole it!
***They walk amongst us!***

One
day I was walking down the beach with so

friends when so

one shouted....'Look at that

looked up at the sky and said...'where?'

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate
agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't
want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the
sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun
rises in the east, and has for so

, she shook her head and said,
'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff'
***They Walk Among Us!!***

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when
we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about
the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She
drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get
sunburned because the car was moving'.

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut
through a seat belt if she gets trapped She keeps it in the
trunk.

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with
a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend
said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every ti
me
she turned her head?' I had
to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the sa

distance apart no matter which way
the head is turned...
***They Walk Among Us!!!!!!! ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I
went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that
my bags never showed up. She smiled and told
me
not to worry because she was a
trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked
me
, 'Has your plane arrived yet?'...
(I work with professionals like this.)

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a
small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked
him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought
about it for so

ti

before responding. 'Just cut it
into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6
pieces.
***Yep, They Walk Among Us, too.!!!!!!!!
