The excitement the night before last was that I was listening to KBUL (country) on the drive to work (which is when everyone else is going home) and they have a contest so I called on my cell phone (I was the passenger). I was the first person with the answer so they played the whooping and hollering track and then asked me something like, "So, what are you going to be doing on Saturday?"
The answer to this should have been something like -- "Go to the comedian that you're giving me tickets to go see!" But, instead my answer was, "I'm working."
The DJ asked, "Then why did you call?"
"I knew the answer."
I had no idea what the contest was about. I just heard the question. Needless to say I didn't win. They HUNG UP on me without saying goodbye. Once in my life I am the first caller with the answer and the DJ hangs up on me. I laughed about that one.
They probably would have hung up twice if they knew that I mostly didn't know what the contest was for because I station hop to avoid listening to them. Nor would they be pleased to know that I've been scoping out the FM-transmitter options for an iPod because I'd rather listen to music than their cheerful voices.
Anyway, the question was, "What can more people do in China than in the United States?"
Though the answer could be just about anything, there was one answer they were looking for that surprised plenty of people. What do you think it is? Any comment on my blog is elligible for this contest. And I won't even hang up on you if you don't win. ;)
The excitement last night was that there was a fire right off the Interstate about 40 miles from home. I heard this morning that the cause was some 80+ year old guy through the ashes from his fireplace out in the yard in 50 mph winds. I could see from the Interstate the flame-enshrouded skeleton that was once his house. The bus riders at work were gossiping that it was a train wreck.
Lastly, take a look at this peacock dress. There are some peacocks that live near here. My avatar used to be a peacock. Then it was a macaw for awhile.

Laine's answer was good.
ReplyDelete*sigh* The only thing I can think of, is that more people ride bikes in China than people do in the U.S.
OOOOrrr, more people sleep in one room in China than the US.
Ah! More people EAT RICE in China than in the U.S.
Oops, hope I'm not being too stereotypical with my answers....
I guess I really don't know..
When will you take us out of suspense??
Hmm...
ReplyDeleteOh! OH! I know! Speak chinese! Did I win?
I'm going with Kristen's answer.
ReplyDeleteLOL at them hanging up on you. They know how to get loyal listeners! They could have had so much fun with that. Of course, if they were the type of people who could make that fun, you probably wouldn't spend so much time flipping past their talking.
I was going to guess, eat with chopsticks, but I think speak Chinese is right.
ReplyDeleteI pick as my answer "eat fish".
ReplyDeleteWhat do you say..do I win? Huh? LOL
Bummer they hung up on you. That was sooo rude.
Take away suspense... LOL. Close to speak Chinese. China has the world's largest population of English speakers too. That was their answer. But then when you have over a billion people all those other answers are right too!
ReplyDeleteTruly?
ReplyDeleteThey speak more English than, say, England?
How weird....
That was a great question, Annalee.
I've seen it on the Internet too, so it MUST be true. LOL. Actually, saw a segment on some news show recently talking about some US schools are beginning to teach Mandarin Chinese. They've been teaching their children English for a long time. So apparently more than 25% of their people speak English as a second language, and that would close to every US citizen. But of course, we've got lots of immigrants that don't speak English here. One tried to pick me up in the casino the other night. How he thought we'd converse on the phone I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteOh Lord! I have No clue. How sad is that? LOl
ReplyDeleteAll those answers sound right to me cause I don't know lol
