HUH? Was there any conversation involved, or anything to indicate her train of thought? Not good at all, and school nurses need the money just as much as the teachers.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

This game should not have been lost on that question. What does jealousy have to do with "aw shucks", anyway?

Why would she even think "jealousy" was the answer? Giving her the benefit of the doubt and attributing it to Hotseatitis is the only thing I can do.

Any guesses as to age of this contestant - I went to high school with a Linda Cohen in upstate NY - this repsonse would not surprise me.

She's apparently old enough to have a daughter who got married last year.

A google search (let's hear it for hyphenated last names!) shows here to be a bit older and from Rome, not Schenectady.

But she was at the real Woodstock - I guess the brain cells suffered some lasting damage.
