Baby hook.

But since he's a teacher, he can have all the baby hooks he wants.

I like this stack.

So far, so good.

OK, how old do you think this guy is? I'm trying to figure out how he could have gotten through life NEVER having heard "You deserve a break today." McDonald's used this slogan for YEARS.

BTW, Clarkston is near Detroit, so I am guessing he took the test there.

Well, 21% of the audience obviously never heard of it either.

Enough with the cute pictures already! This is supposed to be a game show.

I was working for the Golden Arches when this jingle debuted. IIRC it was written by none other than Barry Manilow.

Didn't you get the memo?

If I had not yet been in the hot seat, I would be thinking about all of the stories I could tell in my interview that would have cute pictures to go along with them.

I bet MarleysNephew could provide some cute Disney stuff. If he couldn't, I bet some could be staged.
