There is a radio program on Kentucky radio called Dial a Deal, where nice people can call in and announce on the radio what they want or what they need. It's like the original Craigslist except much more fun. People sell their old freezers, beans from their gardens, and shovels; people call in looking for guard dogs, tires for trucks, and moonshine. (Legit. This happened.)
A couple times during Dial a Deal we get TRIVIA QUESTIONS! which are sometimes local ("What is the courthouse in McKee made of?") and sometimes more broad ("What is the state bird of South Carolina?"). If you win you get your pick of whatever 12 pack of soda tickles your fancy, to pick up at your convenience at the local Fill-Ups.
Today's question was historical. "What famous English sea captain first spotted the state of Washington in the 16th century?"
In all fairness, I had no clue what the answer was. But also in all fairness... I was pretty sure that the answer was not Long John Silver, Captain D, or Captain Kirk, all three of which were guessed when the phone lines started ringing at JR Richard's office. Buahahahaha.
