I Got My Questions For Ya, Eighty of the Blighters in the BH#55
So here we are. Back in the bosom of the conurbation known as LA. Off to Chris's club night in Worthing in a minute. Of course, that has no real meaning or point for you, but, as you might be able to surmise, I have no idea what to write into this little intro. Hmmh, let me think...
Going back to the Monday pub quiz, perhaps I did a bad thing. Sitting next to us were a trio of "Cheaterers". Their unsubtle modus operandi was the most obvious and blatant of them all.
They had decided not to enter the quiz, but once their mate got started up on a phone call to their Google-enabled buddy, for a full 20 minutes he said the questions as they were asked into cheating device and as the rest of his scurrilous band went Wahey! (obviously thinking, why had no one thought of this before) started writing on their answer sheet.
So I squealed in porcine fashion to the quizmaster. I told him: "Why do you think they didn't buy a proper sheet, eh?" He replied: "Are you serious?" To which I gave a suggestive facial expression. And ran away, not wanting to take full responsibility for my questions.
Therefore I spent the next half hour in torture, thinking the QM was going to come over and question them. Whilst I was sat next to them and dispensing frequent uses of my lighter (three smokers, no lighter, perhaps that was the crime for which I wished to punish them).
Good thing, they cam second to last, eh? Which just goes to show, you at least need a modicum of knowledge and competence to be a no-good cheaterer.
But the question is was I right? I felt morally muddied by my action, even if it was dead right. Dead right. Yet I may never squeal and grass like a rattish stool pigeon ever again. It made me feel that conflicted. It is, after all, just a quiz. A quiz. A little quiz in a pub.
Unless, it happens on the jackpot questions that is. Then there will be much righteous pointing with outraged emphasis.
Well, they got one over on us via this 'method'. For Water Displacement is what the WD in WD-40 stands for. If only I had listened in more carefully.
