adambar Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That's entirely to much to comprehend for me Rodger. Rather just go to the nearest beer joint an throw back a few pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 OK Rodger, that's not bad . But can you remember the words "person, woman, man, camera, TV" after 10, 15, or 20 minutes have passed? And get them in the correct order? That's the real rest of mental acuity and anyone who can do it will surely amaze the doctors and then be allowed to proclaim themselves a genius.

Stillwater Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I am still looking for the last line of the internet, so I can´t tell if my suggestions might have been adequate. But I remember that young lady from question 5, hasn´t she recently appeared in a brand new movie over Easter playing a Ukulele? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our annual Medicare Well-Health checkup, the doctor asks us to remember four words for fifteen minutes or so. Thing is, he uses the same words each year. I take great pride in remembering the lot for a whole year rather than just a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Wolverton's "Lena the Hyena" made her debut in the very first issues of MAD magazine. I don't know about her musical abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only test question I've ever missed since problem number three on Miss Kernahan's second-grade math test back in 1949. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kevin, I don't know what the XBRO forums are, but, if you are serious, I do apologize for stepping on your toes. Only tongue-in-cheek was intended.
