Now, my possessing the ability to alert this contestant to
the correct answer would not have guaranteed that he would have achieved his
goal; but, it would have put him one step closer. It definitely would have prevented

What do you think provoked my uncharacteristic

Last night, I sat straight up in bed and began to shout into the darkness, “sleeping
sickness, sleeping sickness!”
My guess is that it all began when Regis Philbin asked this
question (for the record, Regis was on his side of the television screen and
not mine), “The disease carried by the tsetse fly is commonly known by
what name?”
As I sat in the dark, I was overcome with frustration by
the inability to impart my knowledge to this clueless, albeit deserving, individual
who only wanted to become a millionaire.
