Crazy Night of Trivia
"Name four of the six characters killed at the end of godfather part1 by Michael?"
This was the final question of the night in trivia. We were currently in second place and wagered the max amount available for bet, 20 points. Getting it right would give us a great shot at winning.
Let me start at the beginning, I walked in for trivia a little later than usually, because unlike a usual trivia night I had my parents with me. Upon entering the bar and seeing my boss, Laura, I made my usual stop at the bar. The bartender knowing me because of how frequently I visit had my tab already going and my beer already open on the counter. I give an embarrassed smirk to my parents and respond, "She has a great memory." Laura gives me the forty dollar bar tab won from last time when we played and tells me, " let everyone buy off your bar tab so everyone is able to use the forty dollars." Not realizing how dangerous this can be, I agree.
See it wasn't a usual crowd out that night. I have been known to bring a friend or two plus we had the pleasure and help of two co-workers. Ashley, who has come before, brought her boyfriend Barry who last time run up a bill so high the owner asked him to become a part owner. Barry becomes relieve upon hearing me say, "put all drinks on my tab tonight." Remembering what Barry told me the last time he was at trivia while playing pool, "Bitch put pineapple in my drink!" I tell bartender, " make sure there is no pineapple in that screwdriver." Mikey gives me a weird look but at least I know Barry is happy. Later on everyone started to realize I was not the most reliable to order drinks because I get easily distracted. Kim are other co-worker was making her trivia night debut, and brought along a friend who got funnier as she became more comfortable us or more drunk; whatever, and evidently help us tremendously at the end of the game.
The questions were a lot harder this time than in the past, but we stayed near the top as usual. Laura is our key to the game because she gives the best educated guess. She knows more useless knowledge than anyone I have ever met. Even though she knows most answers she spends half her time at the bar checking with everyone to make sure they saw the answer. I am a politics and sports question kind of guy, but Laura always ask me if I know the answer to who wrote an 18th century essay defining the Middle east civilization. When she asks I always give the answer everyone else says, " That looks about right. I was thinking something else but that looks better." We do this so we do not sound completely moronic. When the answer is announced and it is different than response Laura gave we say, " Oh, I knew that! That was the other thing I was thinking of." I should know better to this point than to argue with Laura because I am always wrong and she is always right. " Laura, I am telling you this answer is 721 and not 1135 and I don't care what you telling me this is right and you are wrong!" Then the moderator says, " The answer is 1135."
Before the last question, your team has to make a wager and I am the worst at making wagers and Laura is some kind of a kung fu physic toward predicting the wager. In fact we call her the swami. Our arch rivals semicola always loses to us because of betting. Of course I stood up and said we should not bet it all, and of course Laura says we should. Once again Laura was right and by some miracle we named 4 out of 6 guys to be killed by Michael in the Godfather. We ended up winning, but if you ask Rob it was because he showed up. We are 4-0 when he comes to trivia. I still believe it because Laura luckily never listens to me of course unless it is a sports question. The night closed out as usual and I made my way to the bar to get my tab. Mikey gives me a look and I say, "What's the damage?" Rob turns to me and says, "dude, the screen is still scroll with drink orders!" As I say the rosary, Mikey gives me the bill, "sixty dollars, but taking out the forty dollars it is only twenty."
PRAISES JESUS!!!!!
Thank God Laura gave that forty dollars! Well until next time. Everyone is welcome to Friday night Trivia at the Chateaux Pub! I warn you though once you comes once you will want to come again.
