Watching take-outs from game shows last night, I was laughing like a drain at the one where the answer was "Mattrass" and the guest had to guess the word by asking questions.
Would I enjoy using it? Yes
Would I use it in my work? Maybe!

Then there was the English quiz show (Channel 4 beamed at 2am Wenesday nights?) where they had to sit on a toilet and could only answer if they peed. The killer line was when the last contestant was accused of farting, and he said no, because he was saving it in case it was needed for a different round.
I knew a guy who managed to get on a family quiz show that gave away cabbages for wrong answers. They could have set up by the roadside with all the produce they "won". The classic wrong answer occurred when the quiz master made a mistake and asked "Who wrote Beethoven's 5th?" or something like that. (I'm not big on pre 60's music.) The family had a big conference before answering, "Tchaikovsky?"
Got any other examples? Comments most welcome.
