Slightly OT- If you went on WOF or J!....

 If you actually pay attention to some of the contestant interviews, you notice pretty quickly that some people have a hard enough time coming up with one.

 The only special preparation I've done for my "Jeopardy!" tryouts has been to think up my "5 interesting things" in advance and write them down on a crib sheet.  I have a feeling that few potential contestants think to do this, so they're stuck with whatever bizarre items were on the top of their head at the tryout.

However, I haven't gotten on the show yet.  Hmm...

(One of the things I put down last time around:  "I once shared a hotel suite with Eddie Timanus.")

Robert Hutchinson:
I don't know if I could ever come up with 5 (or even 2) interesting J! discussion topics, as my life is terribly dull. Wheel of Fortune, though, did (almost) diagnose my nearsightedness as a child. My parents thought I stood so close to the TV while it was on because I enjoyed it so much (which I did), and it wasn't until entering first grade and having to sit many feet away from the blackboard that the problem became evident.

Heck, I've got another silly WoF story: I would tape the episodes and play them back, "solving" the puzzles as soon as they were revealed. Scared several houseguests half to death.
