If you can't succeed with luck, use strategy

Boy, that's a title so deep I wouldn't want to fall into it. Or not.

Anyway, as some of you may know, I am a diehard listener of KS95, a local radio station. At night, they do this thing called "You're kidding me, Eric Trivia." With this, you are given a random fact, missing one major element, which is the listener's job to complete. In this case, the DJ (Eric) said that, "A recent book released the top 10 things a man can do for a woman that is classy... what is the #1 thing?" (or something along those lines)

Well, me being the sneaky guy I am, I used everybody's best friend, google. Hey, what do you know? I think I found it! I called them, he answered, and told me I was right! So, I should be getting 4 tickets to the Acme Comedy Company, a place I've been wanting to go to for a while.

And before I become hated for cheating, keep this in mind: the answer was "standing up when they enter the room." I really don't think anyone would get that on their own. Once it gets to be a certain point, he gives a clue which makes things ridiculously easy, and it's a matter of getting through (I've tried, I aways get a busy signal after the clue) So, I was just jumping to the front of the line when he gives the clue, I figure. Yeah, that's it. Ok, I won't do it again until next month, at the earliest (partly because I can only win at that station once each month)
