Obviously not BN'ers!!! We're some smart cookies here!

BB is not showing off...she's a girl.

Thanks halfpint. It also helps that I have watched Snow White repeatedly, work for the phone company, write and paginate documents, and have an American flag at my desk.

I don't know squat about lug nuts.

I know lug nuts!

So you know there are 2 right answers to that question unless you factor in SUV's ..... then there are 3.

I should have phrased that differently I KNOW LUGS AND I KNOW NUTS!

We call them 'FRUITCAKES' around here ......

We have a young man who lives nearby and his nickname is LUGNUT! He's young, dumb and full of c**. He's received three citations for driving naked, been caught twice w/married women, and has wrecked six trucks all in the last six months.

18 here I find it hard to believe that the average score is 7...unless they are talking about my co-workers. Then I think they might be scoring them a little too high

Is his real name Troy or Frank?

13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons? (If looking at it)

13. Left

I too got 18, but I dispute the above answer. I don't wear men's shirts, but all of my buttons are on my left, which would mean the answer is "right"
...

Should I stop shopping at WalMart?

The real trivia is why buttons are that way for women and not for men. It's because women used to be dressed by their servants whereas men dressed themselves. The majority of people are right-handed so in theory it's easier to have the button on the right and the hole on the left for whomever is doing the buttoning.

Who are the morons who are only getting 7???

Have you ever watched Letterman or Leno when they go out on the street and ask simple questions of the people passing by??? There are stupid people who are alive only 'cause it illegal to kill them.

[citcat]

17...but I can get 87.7 on my FM radio(it's the local tv station's)...and most of my hot dog packages have 10, two too many for the 8-bun pack. I guess that means I have to stop getting my hot dogs at Walmart! So does that mean I get a 19? Yep. I'll take a 19.

[Wino you know]

21 correct.

[halfpint6924]

I'm tempted to re-take the quiz but with the pain medicine I'm on....I'll probably score less than the first time.

[bananaman]

I got 28 correct.

[PHBeerman]

Dammit 25. I take exception with the last question. The Merry-go-round at our zoo goes Clockwise.

The other one I missed was the womens blouse one. I think I got it right though. My answer was "who cares"

[12Volt]

I got 19 right and still feel like a dumbass.

[Bob Roberts]

3. In which hand is the Statue of Liberty's torch? (If looking from behind)

4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label?

(I said 87, oh so close!)

10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise?

Gave this quiz to my family last night. My son broke out his microphone and amp and became "The Game Show Host". We had a blast. I heard "Is that your final answer?" "You are the weakest link" "The answer is..." and lots of music from my ever so talented son.

Hubby-20 right

Daughter (16 years old)-22 right

Son (20 years old)-19 right.

Now, when asked the question "How many sides are on a stop sign?" my husband replied "Two" Two????? His reasoning.."Yeah, a front side and a back side."

When asked which Dwarf was missing, my daughter replied "The 7th. Dwarf and Snow White."

My son asked what a "VHF DIAL" was!!!!!!!!!!!
