We all seem to be pretty stupid at times.
Time is not a problem for me. Except for the Chats. I have as much time as I want.
Well, right this instant anyway and, who knows where I'll be in a minute or less?
I've learned over the years, that ones life can change very rapidly.
Now I know why I didn't pass the test on Jeopardy. Yes, I
was invited a few years back. There are a lot of things I don't know, and didn't know that I didn't know very much.
I never did think that I knew everyting anyway, so it didn't come as a shock to me. I didn't do too badly in the exam. Only a couple of questions I was unable to answer. However, maybe I answered them wrong, which is possible but not probable. <grin>
The consolation was that we were about 50 tryouts and only 1 man made it. Yes, Alan Trebek was there. He spoke to us and told us the rules and regulations.
It was fun anyway to find out how hard the questions really are. They are much harder than what you see on TV as, one has to know about everything.
**Just in case Jeopardy decides to
answer that question.**
I was also invited to join Mensa. I didn't take any of the exams for Mensa.
I wasn't interested at the time as, in those days I didn't have the time.
Now it's my memory that is giving me a problem. I don't know what has happened to it. Sometimes it's very good, other times I am really dense.
I think it might be age related. Or perhaps, it's just a senior moment, perhaps a lack of sleep, too much time, or too many naps.
I must say that some days I am as bright as a 200 watt lightbulb.
I used to be able to remember things so easily. I was really academically very smart. Those days seem to be gone forever.
As someone said but,
I can't remember who, so I will take the credit.
