Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
The TV game show was really close. One contestant was asked to name 2 of Santa’s reindeer.
The contestant gave a sigh thinking that he had finally been given an easy question, “Rudolph and Olive!”
The host asked the contestant, “We’ll accept Rudolph but can you explain Olive?”
The man looked at the host and said, “You know, ‘Olive,’ the other reindeer,
used to laugh and call him names…” 😳😳😳😳
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Don’t knock rationalization; where would we be without it? I don’t know anyone who could get through the day
without two or three juicy rationalizations. They’re more important than sex.”
Answer: The Big Chill!
In 1983’s “The Big Chill”, nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, a group of friends from college get together years later on the occasion of the funeral for a friend of theirs (who was played by Kevin Costner but got completely cut from the movie). The friends stay over at the home of Harold and Sarah. During their catching up over the weekend, Michael (Jeff Goldblum) and Sam (Tom Berenger) have an in-depth conversation about their lives which they videotape themselves having while sitting on the couch, talking about manipulative people and rationalizations. Nichael makes that humorous observation about rationalizations to Sam in their debate.

Tuesday’s Quizzler is….
What common household item wouldn’t have become popular if it wasn’t for another invention in 1928 (it didn’t take off until 1930)?
Answer: The toaster.
The first electric toaster was invented in 1893 in Great Britain by Crompton and Co (UK) and re-invented in 1909 in the United States. It only toasted one side of the bread at a time and it required a person to stand by and turn it off manually when the toast looked done. Charles Strite invented the modern timer, pop-up toaster in 1919.
Otto Frederick Rohwedder invented the bread slicer, which he started working on in 1912. At first, Rohwedder came up with the idea of a device that held the slices together with hat pins (not a success). In 1928, he designed a machine that sliced and wrapped the bread to prevent the sliced bread from going stale. Pre-sliced bread was popularized by Wonder Bread in 1930, helping to spread the toaster’s popularity further. The hint refers to the common phrase “The best thing since sliced bread”.
The title is a subtle hint to “Wonder Bread”.
