Last night on Family Feud, there was an incredibly bad answer. The question was "Name a Communist country." Russia was #1, China #2. The question got down to the #5 person in the family, a man about 27 or so. His answer was - GREAT BRITAIN Well, Dawson laughed, as did the rest of the audience. Suprise, surprise, it didn`t make the survey. Later, in fast money, the second person gave a great answer to the question "Name a vegetable that is battered" She came up with the brilliant answer - FISH! She got 0 points, and ended up missing the 200 points for $10,000 by 2 points! On still another show, the fast money question "Name an animal with 3 letters in its name" was answered by ALLIGATOR Which brings me to my final submission for stupidity on Family Feud. On a different night, the question was "Name a famous Rudolph". Valentino was one, Nuryev another, the red-nosed reindeer a third. But the family couldn`t come up with another and got 3 strikes. The question came over to the other team, who gave the answer- RUDOLPH HITLER Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if that`s not enough, here`s one from Password. McLean Stevenson was trying to get a black guy to say "deer" as in the red-nosed one mentioned above. He gave the clue word "DOE". The black man responed with KNOB (It`s true, really). How dumb can some people be??? Tom O`Connor

Here everyone was equally silly... Host: Name a type of food from Italy. Contestant 1: Swedish Meatballs? Host: Swedish meatballs! Where the heck do you think Swedish meatballs come from? Contestant 2: (buzzes) Spain? I loved it! David Sullivan, New York University -- David Sullivan UUCP: ...!floyd!cmcl2!sullivan (212) 460-7287 ARPA: SULLIVAN@NYU

Here's a scary one from "Family Feud" (which I NEVER watch) last week: "Name something you should carry in case of an emergency" (or something like that...) The number four answer was "A gun"!

Still can't believe this actually
happened but a friend actually
saw this:
On the Newlyweds game, the question
was "In your neighborhood, what direction
does the sun come up from - North, South,
East, or West?"
Believe it or not there were lots of
wrong answers and the one
poor guy who answered East was blasted by:
"no, stupid , he said in **our** neighborhood!"
Enjoy.
