PROMPT March 16th


If you had the opportunity to compete on a television game show, which would you pick? If you won, what would you do with your winnings?

My favorite game show is Jeopardy. I don't feel smart enough to go on that show. But my husband is smart enough. In fact, I believe he could walk away with tons of money! I've been asking him for the last 15 years or so to apply. I just know he'd be great. But he won't take the test. He's somewhat shy around people and he has a tendency to clam up when he's nervous. So I think that's why he just won't apply. But I've got to be honest, he rattles off the answers quicker than a lot of other people. And it amazes me that he knows some pretty esoteric stuff.

My next favorite show is Wheel of Fortune. At my house Jeopardy comes on first and then Wheel of Fortune. So my husband watches Jeopardy with me and then heads off to his man cave when Wheel comes on. He always leave the room yelling, "Wheel of Torture"...he just hates that show.

But Wheel of Fortune is the show I'd like to try. I love word puzzles anyway. My only challenge would be clamming up. I love to be in front of people but being on TV would feel different. I think I'd be so nervous that I couldn't think. And I'd probably talk out of turn. Or I'd say something stupid. Or I wouldn't even win any money. All that aside I'd still love to be on the show.

And the winnings? Well...after taxes I'd have to see how much was left. But I really think I'd do something philanthropic. I'd give some to my church and then find a charity or two and give some to them. I'd probably be a little greedy too. Go on a trip, buy a new car, pay off my house...things like that.

And by the way, I've been watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune for the past 30 years or so. I used to watch those shows with my Dad. And even after I got married and raised a family, and even after my Dad passed away I find I'm STILL watching both those shows. So here's to Jeopardy and Wheel. *ThumbsUpL*
