Ignorance

I cannot believe that none of the 3 remaining contestants on "Millionaire Hot Seat" today knew that the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers are New Zealand.

Yes, starting to wonder how they audition these people. Two people last week didn't know what kind of company Cobb & Co was. But then I wouldn't have a clue about which artist might have made any particular album - a question which appears frequently.

I am even more profoundly ignorant. I have never even heard of "Millionaire Hot Seat".

Unbelievable. Everyone knows, Cobb and Co is an upmarket boutique bakery chain.

I didn't know that. A Tasmanian bred company? Somewhere on the yeast coast?

Just a little of what you knead.

I'll admit that it's something I knead, but really I don't have the dough.

Short on dough can be a bitch when it turns sour. Chin up and rise above it.

I've applied to be on various quiz shows over the years. Quite often knowing the answers to every question asked, yet never got any further. I'm sure they seed the contestants so they don't win too much money :-)
