Bump.

What a crappy $100,000 question. If she had known the mayor question (I assume she was looking for Sonny Bono among the choices), she could have jumped over it and had a look at the $250,000 question.

If that's what she thought why did she burn the lifeline? And how hard is it to associate not wanting to do anything with "lazy"?

I wonder if LifeCall changed its name to LifeAlert. Come to think of it, I can just go look it up . . . Well, LifeCall dropped its registration of the phrase, and LifeAlert picked it up years later. So I guess the answer to my question is No.

One of my old bosses went on a family vacation there, and she and her daughter went jogging just to see if they could meet the mayor, having heard that he did the same thing. No luck, though.
