A REALY GOOD DAY

Bastille Day eve was a banner day for YHS ( I use this acronym for YOUR HUMBLE SERVAnt to save space ) et ux. We were unbeatable.

I ( Oops, I mean YHS ) am the director of a 15+ duplicate bridge game every Tuesday and we (YHS et ux )won with an enormous almost unheard of 70% average.

From there we( YHS ETUX )went to the Burlap Barrel for the weekly trivia game which I have referred to previously. Another enormous victory netted us $40 of free drinks.

Upon returning home, a quick check of the stock market of my miagre securities showed a handsome profit.

Here are a few samples trivia questions which I submit to test your mwntal acuity.
1) In Moby Dick, what was Ahab's peg leg made of ?
2) In oil paints, what is the oil used by the painters?
3) What is unusual about the Mona Lisa'seyebrows?
4) How many states in the Civil War were on the confederate side and how many in the Union?
5)In the star ship Enterprise, what powered the Enterprise ?
6) How old was Joan of Arc when she died?

hmm... Holly and I did not do too well. Between the 2 of us we got about 50% (Holly was off 1 year for Joan of Arc).
We looked up the Civil War question, and have to say I was surprised to see some West states included.
BTW - glad you had a good day!
