*laughter*
I just read about them, keep their names floating around. Bill, I’ll you something. If you buy that tea set now, You’d be tied for the lead. I’m already wearing a tie, so I don’t need any more ties. I’ll knock this offer down to $4, if you still want that tea set. You’d still be in the lead by $1. That’s an almost thousand-dollar value for just 4 pesky little American dollars. Bill, what do you say?
*audience shouts suggestions*

*applause* Welcome back to Sale of the Century on NBC! We have a pretty good thing going here, Mike is in first with $44, Bill isn't too far behind with $41, and Matt has a ways to go here as we go to the next round of games. Here are the words for this round:  Instance, Scheme, Stock, Skill, Financial, Utter, Institute, Wander, Dwell, Foil, and Convince. You can kind of see a connection with these words, I swear that was accidental. Anyway, definition number 1 is as follows:  "An ability that has been acquired by training". What word fits the definition, fellas? Bill: 62 Matt: 69 Mike: 78 Buzzcode: 88 *Mike buzzes in*  Mike! |
