Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 9 October 2022

Recently we saw a story about this mistake made by a street painter outside a school.

Or was it a shcool?

So for your team name this week, we want you to tell us about a screw up at work.

It turns out that family DIDN’T want their grandmother to be cremated

I accidentally charged a customer $200 instead of $2

Unplugged the freezer to plug in my phone charger

I should have checked that I spelled Santa correctly on that Santa’s Village sign

I allowed 10 million people’s personal details to be stolen

Any “you had one job” moments will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about common words beginning with SPA, one team went with “spank”. We’re not judging, but we did think it was unusual that their mind went there right away.

On a picture question on big things, we had a picture of a “big thumb”. And one team failed to identify it as a thumb.

And if you’re going to cheat by looking up New Girl on your phone, you might not want to do it right in front of our host, and you might not want to continue the search while we are calling you out in front of everyone.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

After getting their answer sheet back for the second half, one team claimed there was nowhere to put their answers… because they hadn’t mastered the highly technical process of turning over their answer sheet to see the other side.

We asked about the largest Sydney suburbs beginning with RO, and one team asked if the population had to be alive. Because there are a lot of dead people in Rookwood Cemetary.

Instead of calling the people who carry a coffin pall bearers, one team called them ball bearers. Which is a VERY different thing.

When we asked a question about a medical procedure beginning with the letter V where a man is sterilised, one player laughed loud enough that everyone in the room heard. Because apparently vasectomies are hilarious.

See you next week.
