Sure thing, here we go...
Jim Thornton: Calling higher or lower is your duty, Do it right and you'll win the booty on...
And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Hi, everyone! Welcome to Card Sharks. That may be a first. I don't think we've ever had "booty" in a poem on this show. First time for everything. In other events, I get to welcome four people to this stage. The first two are our models Charlene and Terri. The other two are our two Card Sharks. Come on up!
*Danny and Bill run to their podiums*
Danny Margulis, welcome back. You're here with a one-day cash total of $5,500.
*cheers and applause*
How've you been?

Hi Kevin,
I am 57, I live near historic Washington Crossing Pennsylvania with my wife of 33 years and our son who just turned 25 recently.
For the past 5 years and change I have been employed by a small business in town that sells equipment for first responders, mainly for their vehicles.
My primary duty is entering orders into the computer system that we receive through e-mails from our clients, but also do alpha and numeric filing, daily and monthly financial reports, data base management, proofreading and reconciling in house purchase orders.
In my spare time I enjoy watching vintage sitcoms and TV programs from the 1950s through the 1990s, as well as a huge game show fan. As a matter of fact I own two replica decks of cards from the old TV show Gambit as well as a regular sized red and blue deck of replica Card Sharks cards as well which I enjoy using!
I also am a novice US Historian, specifically with United States Presidents, something my Mom got me into when I was 7 years old right after Richard Nixon's resignation as our 37th President back in August 1974.

I've been fascinated by history, too. Not just the presidents but in television and game show history as well. I've visited some Harry Truman sites recently, namely his library in Independence and his house in Key West. Let's get started on this game, shall we? DANNY

You each will try get from one side of the board to the other, calling higher or lower than the card preceding it. Win two out of three rounds, and you go to the Money Cards. To call your cards, you need to win a high-low toss-up question. These questions are designed to judge your ability to analyze human nature. This first one goes to Danny. We surveyed 100 people:
"Is it acceptable for adults to order from the children's menu at a restaurant?"
Out of 100, how many said yes, Danny?

Danny says 50 out of 100 are fine with an adult ordering off the children's menu at the restaurant. [50][__][__]
Bill, do you think the actual number is higher or lower?

|

Post by billmcdee on Aug 3, 2024 11:59:19 GMT -5
You won't believe this but only yesterday my family and I ate out and I was eyeing up the children's menu, not only for the cost but for portion size as I've been trying to scale back both with cost and calories, so I'd say it's totally acceptable and that the number of people who say it is would be much higher than 50.

Higher than 50. [50][__][HI]
*ding* Actually not a bad idea in theory. It makes your more health and money conscious. Let's see where America stands on this. The actual number who said it is acceptable for an adult to order off the children's menu at a restaurant is... [50][68][HI]
*dingdingding* 68 of them! Bill was right, it was higher. You also wonder if they'll want a toy to play with, too. DANNY

A little bit better, I'll go with the odds Kevin and predict that the next card will be higher than that 6.

It gives you a one-card advantage for now. Next high-low question is this, asked to 100 dog owners. We confidentially asked them:
"Have you ever taken your dog to a hotel that did not allow pets?"
Bill, how many admitted to doing so?
|
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Aug 4, 2024 9:50:12 GMT -5
I have not owned a dog in a very long time but I imagine boarding them at a kennel might prove expensive.
Also it seems in more recent times more hotels have become more pet-owner friendly too so I'll say it's a relatively low number, 26.
|
|
|
|
Post by koopakid17 on Aug 4, 2024 9:54:08 GMT -5
That may help. For this question, 26 people have taken their dogs to hotels where pets are forbidden.

Higher than that.
[HI][__][26]
*ding* Actual number of dog owners who have taken their dogs to hotels that didn't allow them is...
[HI][21][26]
*dingdingding* 21 of them, it was actually lower. With many options, there's not as much of a need for it, I take it.
