We have ourselves a comedian!

Saturday night, during supper, we were watching “Cash Cab”. (If you haven’t seen it, it’s a gameshow where a cabbie asks trivia questions for money – and if you make it to your destination without getting 3 wrong, you can opt to double your money by correctly answering a bonus question; if you get it wrong, you lose it all.)

First there was a group of 4 guys that did very well and ended up getting their (very easy) bonus question correct to double up to over $800. Then a second group of guys get to the bonus question, and decided not to risk their winnings. But they got to hear the question and guess anyway (better tv, right?). So it was very easy as well, and I remarked to Gord that the bonus questions seemed a lot easier than before. But I couldn’t remember the previous group’s question/answer, and neither could Gord (the memory is the first thing to go!). So Ben piped up with the answer – “Lionfish. It was Lionfish.” (They showed a videoclip with some voice-over facts and asked what this fish was more commonly called.) We thanked him and said that he had a good memory, and he said, “Do I get cash?” Does he know how the game works or what?!?! LOL We laughed pretty hard at our witty son!
