Talking I Can't Be The Only One To Think This Was Funny...

I'm watching Jeopardy now and one of the categories was "Cars", they show the name and you had to guess the maker, ie they show Mustang and the players answered Ford. Well, everything was going well until "Delta 88" came up. Silence. Nobody even attempted to answer! Same for Aspen but that was a pos insult to Dodge..........

Funny... Too many have forgot about Olds...
Of course the curiosity we give people is great.
Now if only my neighbor lady will quit calling my 2 Olds' Chevies!! We have known each other for 10 years now!

I saw that very same show two nights ago. That was a $600 or $800 question.

This was great....a few weeks ago I met a neighbor for the first time. Of course my cars came up and he said "you have a really nice Caddy". I replied (as politely as I could) "it's an Oldsmobile!". Then he said "well I knew the black one was an Olds but I thought the red one was a Caddy". So I again politely said "THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME CAR IN DIFFERENT COLORS!" My wife heard the conversation from inside the house and was cracking up when I went back in.

What if it said Patrician?
Would you know who made it right off the bat??
Everybody will say they did after they look it up.
Hold your monitoor up to the mirror and read this..DRAKCAP.

The only thing funny on that show is Alex Trebek.
I like Cash Cab, but they should change it to "Crash Cab" and crash the cab into a pole if you get the answer wrong, be way more exciting.

My neighbor says that too, and he's right!
But he calls my Vista Cruiser a lowly station wagon.

I've had Chebbies, I've been to Poncho, I went to Olds, maybe I'll do Buhog next, they're all the same anyway.

Blue,

I love Cash Cab also. I'm waiting for him to pick up a mugger.

I love my Oldsmobiles but I still have a hankering fer an Amphicar.
I usually sit down in a corner for a while and it goes away.
