BPOTD - Warning: Extremely Bad Taste edition
There used to be a game show where contestants had to pick two numbers off of a board trying to match the prizes associated with those numbers (like the game Memory) - if they did match, they got to see a piece of a rebus puzzle that was hidden behind the numbers. It was very popular and was hosted by Hugh Downs. In fact it was so popular that I developed a special one-week summer program designed especially to help people improve their skills at playing the game - memory exercises, puzzle solving activities, etc. It sparked a lot of interest but I for some reason I could never fully convience anyone to actually sign up for my
Concentration Camp.

Hmmmm...
So maybe you should have made it a Concentration Boot Camp, and someone would have stolen sliver's credit card to sign up for it........
Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used.

I would have signed up for it. I could have packed in the beautiful matched set of American Tourister luggage that Hugh Downs gave my mother as a lovely parting gift....
Oh, wait.
Oh, wait.

And they don't make luggage like they used to, either!
