Okay, if that's what you want to do.

After that call against the odds, you'll protect your position on a Jack. At this point, I'd like the two of you to face the audience again. We'll have our special polling group stand up once more. We asked these ten female softball coaches a second question, and here it is:

"Which would you do if one of your players refused to shake an opposing player's hand after a game: talk to your player, talk to your player's parents or not get involved?"

How many coaches would talk to the kid's parents, Bill?

[billmcdee]

I don't think it would be a very high number Kevin.

Part of being a coach, especially of younger people, is to be a teacher.

In my son's bowling experiences on various teams, he learned a great many life lessons, especially by the men who coached him.

I don't think too many would talk to the parents about it, that's something I'd think most of these coaches would want to take on themselves, so I'll say 2 of them would talk to the player's parents.

[EaglesWings1975a]

I will say that # is a just slightly higher

[koopakid17]

Two coaches would talk to the player's parents.

[ 2][__][__]

*ding*

Chris says that number is higher.

[ 2][__][HI]

*ding*

Of the ten coaches, the number of them who would talk to a kid's parents over a refused handshake is...

[ 2][ 8][HI]

*dingdingding*

Eight of them, it was much more than you two thought. Let's talk to the two who didn't answer as such. Raise your hands.

*two coaches raise their hands*

In the back, how would you react to this situation?

Coach 1: I said I would talk to the player. Going to the parents is just asking for trouble.

Me: I see. Now, the one on your left, you said you would talk to the parent. Why is that?

Coach 2: I would be causing a scene if I went right to the girl. Parents can be monsters sometimes.

Me: Of course. Gotta teach sportsmanship if they won't want to. I'll thank you all for participating. We have $100 and a fine gift for each of you. Take your seats, please.

Where were we? Oh, Chris, it's your call. You still have that Jack.

[EaglesWings1975a]

Going to keep it and say lower

[koopakid17]

Lower than the Jack?

BILL
[Q ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][Q ♦][C*S]

A Queen.

*buzzer*

Aren't you glad you froze there? We'll send that Queen packing.

BILL
[Q ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

Bill, you have a free call off a Queen of your own.

[billmcdee]

WOW!  I'll again try lower Kevin.

[koopakid17]

Lower than the Queen?

BILL
[Q ♠][JOK][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

It's a Joker! You've increased your chances of winning that car at the end of the show!

BILL
[Q ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

Do you still want to call lower?

[billmcdee]

ROFL yes please, lower

[koopakid17]

Then is it lower?

BILL
[Q ♠][4 ♦][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

*ding*

Yes! With a four!

[billmcdee]

As unpredictable as these cards are, I'll risk it and go higher.  (If another Joker happens to turn up, I'll stick with my higher prediction).

[koopakid17]

Higher than the four...

BILL
[Q ♠][4 ♦][J ♣][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

*ding*

The card's a Jack.

[billmcdee]

I'll risk it, lower.

[koopakid17]

Going for it. The next card...

BILL
[Q ♠][4 ♦][J ♣][K ♠][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

...is not lower.

*buzzer*

You don't advance. In fact, you go all the way back to your base.

BILL

Another high-low question coming up. We asked this to 100 married women:

"Has your mate ever backed up the toilet without telling you?"

How many said that that has happened Chris?

[billmcdee]

(What was the card? I wasn't able to see what it was Kevin.)

[EaglesWings1975a]

If there is only one person in the house and you didn't do it, chances are the other person did it.. (Now if they tell you, that may be a different story)

If you have kids, they may or may not tell you.

I would say about 45

[billmcdee]

As for my experience being married over 33 years, if something goes wrong, best to tell them about it as soon as possible.

I think honesty still has a place in more than 55 percent of marriages, so with that logic, I'm going to say it's lower than 45.

It was the King of Spades.

---

45 married women have experienced a backed up toilet without their significant others telling them.

[__][__][45]

*ding*

That's according to Chris. Bill says it's lower.

[LO][__][45]

*ding*

Actual number of married women who said their mates have backed up the toilet without telling them is...

[LO][51][45]

*dingdingding*

51; you were in the same neighborhood, but it was actually a bit higher. If their mates fixed it themselves, how would they have known, though?

Chris, control is yours again. You still have a Jack.

[EaglesWings1975a]

Good thing I froze last time..

I am going to keep it and I will say lower

[koopakid17]

Lower than the Jack?

BILL
[Q ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][J ♣][C*S]

Another Jack.

*buzzer*

You go nowhere with that double. This Jack goes on down.

BILL
[Q ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

Bill, now's your chance. Call off the Queen.

[billmcdee]

I'll try lower again (and will stay with lower if a Joker turns up)

[koopakid17]

Lower than the Queen...

BILL
[Q ♠][10♦][C*S][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

*ding*

Yes! There's a ten.

[billmcdee]

I'll try lower.

[koopakid17]

Is it lower...

BILL
[Q ♠][10♦][3 ♠][C*S][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

*ding*

Yeah! A three!

[billmcdee]

So help me I have a dozen tomatoes to throw at that board LOL if this next card isn't higher than that 3

[koopakid17]

Higher than the three?

BILL
[Q ♠][10♦][3 ♠][7 ♦][C*S]
——————————|CHRIS
[10♣][K ♥][J ♠][___][C*S]

*ding*

No need to, it's a seven.

I feel the same way.. In fact this morning for Breakfast I had a glass of V8 juice

[billmcdee]

Freeze!

[koopakid17]

Freezing like canned orange juice...

Puts you in a much better position as we prepare for Sudden Death. One of you will win after this next play of the cards. Here's the high-low question. We asked 100 waiters and waitresses...

"Is it acceptable for a customer to sample an alcoholic drink before deciding whether or not to order one?"

How many said yes, Bill?

[billmcdee]

I myself do not do alcohol at all but I have seen where that happens at restaurants.

I'd think for the potential of a sale which would equate to a higher tip for the waiter/waitress, I'd say 82 of them would say it is acceptable.
