One track mind............

I went to a house party last Sunday. Most of the people there were "Hockey Parents", who tend to be a little rough around the edges. Our hostess, in an effort to make the party sociable, placed Trivial Pursuit cards on all the tables so people could read and answer questions while they ate. It turned out to be a brilliant and effective plan. It's easier to make small talk when you don't have to come up with anything fresh, on your own.

One of the men there, who looked and acted a little like "the dude" but with short hair, had a way of finding a lot of correct answers. He would blurt them out as soon as his thoughts would let him. One of the questions was, "what is the highest lake in South America?" He shouted, "Lake Titicaca". Everyone was silent at the quickness of his answer. Then from somewhere in the shadows a woman's voice says, "no it's not...............you just like saying that". We all erupted into uncontrollable laughter. Come to find out later he was right, but for a short moment we had our doubt.
