Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for May 24, 2023

Story of my life.

The winner takes on the winner of the greyhound, sailfish, and peregrine falcon.

Your reaction time is too slow for a game show, Catherine. Unless you’re a ninja sloth.

Shirley’s gonna take sloths for $5,000.

Catherine needs to be playing against a snail and a tortoise.

Watch out for Shirley next to you, she’s a cheetah.

How would Ninja sloth do?

Sloths must not taste good. Otherwise how do they avoid predators?

I can imagine two coyotes talking: “Hey man, forget it. I ate one of those once and had indigestion and diarrhea for days.”

Slow on the buzzer does not work in that game.

I’ll take Molasses in January for $500.

remember it’s @ before # except after $

Start pushing your button now Catherine.

Of course she ain’t no Ninja Sloth.

Flash, Flash, 100yd Dash! …sorry, my mind wandered

I lost on Jeopardy, baaaaaby

The next three contestants will be moose, elk, and deer, and will be considered a “Big Game” Show.

I miss Alex Trebek.

Looks like it’s ladies night on “Jeopardy at the Zoo”.

Wow, an ungulate who writes in cursive.

A lot of humans have trouble with those buzzers as well.

I still think that’s much of why the humans lost to Watson – if they slowed its reaction time down, it wasn’t enough…

As a Jeopardy! fan I find this quite funny. Good one, Mark!
