We are big fans of Jeopardy around here. We DVR all of the episodes, and so every so often we’ll just sit down in front of our TV, blast through about 6-7 episodes of them in high-speed, and see how smart we can make ourselves feel. (Spoiler: It’s not really all that smart, seeing as though we generally end up in the negative of money, if you count wrong answers and what-not.) But still, we love the show.

Wrong Answers That Would Have Been More Humiliating/Hilarious: “What is a belt stripper?” / “What is a tool box

Head on over and check out the rest of them. Enjoy!
