Of the 87% of Americans who have one, half say they dislike the one they have.
That was this evening’s prize question on KDFC, the classical radio station. When the announcer came on again he said that the answer is not car, job, cell-phone, iPod or spouse, and indeed nothing to do with technology. That inspired me to guess middle name, which was indeed the winning answer. But I declined the prize – golf stuff – and so the announcer didn’t even read my name on the air. Is that justice?
I would’ve refused the golf stuff too, perhaps for different reasons. I’m a golf snob. Only super premium golf stuff for me. Who wants giveaways when I already have Mike Tyson golf gloves, a platinum Ï€-iron, a mahogany googol wood and an armored golf cart. This comment would be longer but I have to go work on my game. Golf is the best sport ever. Make that the best activity ever.
Of course the sponsor of the contest isn’t paying to have it announced that someone spurned their goods.
