Your test was ridiculously simple. Even Jay only missed two.

May have to grade on the curve for this one.

Joe said...

Are you going to give us the answers or what?

Dave said...

Yesterday I had 3 beers, a whiskey soda, and a glass of wine. Am I smart or what?

Jay said...

Yeah, I would have done better on the quiz if I wasn't already drunk.

1919

18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ratified on January 16 calling for national prohibition to take effect one year from the date of ratification.

That must have sucked. Good to know that well-intentioned, naive bullshit was in full swing in this country even back then.

Dave said...

Look on the bright side, without prohibition, we probably wouldn't have had near the organized crime problem! And what about Las Vegas?

Mike said...

Damn. I jotted down the answers but lost it. Everyone who drank this weekend gets an A.

Jay said...

Woohoo!
