Thanks Tony, I am 49 years of age, married the past 25 years. We have a son who is about to turn 17. I've been gainfully employed at a pharmaceutical research firm as a data entry specialist since before my son was born. I enjoy bowling, NFL and American history, writing and games, especially card games, and most especially Card Sharks!! Your show has been extremely good to me and I am most grateful!

Before we begin the game, this episode is on hold until Matt returns from vacation.

Good luck to you, Bill. We play the best 2 out of 3 games. The winner will be playing the Money Cards for thousands more including a chance to win a brand new 2017 sportscar. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]We now begin round 1 with our first question. *grabs card* Bill... we've asked 100 bartenders-- Have you ever seen a patron cry in his beer?How many of them say they have seen a patron cry in his beer?

A most intriguing question indeed. I haven't been in a bar since early 1991 for my bachelor party. Never again!
I imagine some guys go in there to drown their sorrows, and perhaps having a bit too much to drink might trigger some tears. Then again some may come in there already upset.
Still, given the male ego and how society frowns upon men crying, especially in a public place, I'll estimate that no more than 31 bartenders have seen a man crying in his beer.

[DING]31 out of 100 say they have seen a patron cry in his beer. What do you think of that answer, Matt... higher or lower?

Post by mringgenberg on Jul 18, 2016 16:54:29 GMT -5
As I am rarely in a bar I'll say it's a little higher.

As I am rarely in a bar I'll say it's a little higher. Any reasons why you think it's higher, Matt?

Post by mringgenberg on Jul 18, 2016 17:30:42 GMT -5
I don't think that it rarely happens that somebody cries in their beer.

Post by tmann3x on Jul 18, 2016 21:39:01 GMT -5
[DING]If it's higher, you'll play your cards. If not, Bill plays his cards. And if one of you get an answer on the bull's eye, you'll receive a $1,000 bonus. Bill says 31 and Matt says it's higher... The actual number of bartenders say they have seen a patron cry in his beer is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]52. Matt's right... it is higher. Now that you have control, you'll begin round 1 with your base card... ...a King. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

We'll move the freeze bar for Matt... protecting his cards from his opponent. Coming up after the break, we'll have our second question ready for our challenger. More cards, prizes, and surprises are just around the bend when Card Sharks returns following this commercial time out. Stick around, folks...

*fade to promo* [COMMERCIAL CUE]George: If you live in the Los Angeles area and would like to become a contestant on Card Sharks, all you have to do is send in a postcard and mail it to--Or log on to CBS.com/daytime for more details and instructions. Let's return now to Card Sharks and your host Tony Lane.[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, George. Welcome back to Card Sharks. For those of you staying with us during the commercial break, thanks. For those of you who've tuned in for the first time, welcome aboard. Before the break, here's a look at what the board looks like. Our challenger Matt has a two card advantage while our champion Bill hasn't touched his cards yet. Let's return to round 1 with our next question. *grabs card* Matt... we've asked 100 women-- Have you ever spent a whole day sunbathing for a golden bronze tan, only to turn lobster red?How many of them say they had their skin turning lobster red while sunbathing?
|
|
|
Post by mringgenberg on Jul 20, 2016 16:42:58 GMT -5
I think women usually are extra careful with how long they sunbathe. So I think it'll be a low number. 39

Post by tmann3x on Jul 20, 2016 22:42:37 GMT -5
[DING]39 out of 100 say they had their skin turning lobster red while sunbathing. Higher or lower, Bill?
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jul 21, 2016 5:42:37 GMT -5
I would think most women who do sunbathe for a tan are somewhat vain about their looks to begin with. Couple that with fears of skin cancer, and I suspect that number will be even lower.

[DING][APPLAUSE]The audience seem to agree with your decision, Bill. Let's see if one of you is right. Matt says 39 and Bill says it's lower... The actual number of women say they had their skin turning lobster red while sunbathing is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]38. Just missed the perfecto by one. Bill, it's now your turn to play your cards... starting with-- A Queen!
