Overheard On ‘Millionaire’

…just this second (as I was drying my hands to change the channel):

Meredith: How many planets in our solar system have one syllable names?
[Pregnant pause as male contestant ponders]
[ponders ponders ponders] Contestant: I can only think of two right now. Mars and Venus.

Lucky thing for him the audience was on top of that one.

    Wha…huh?
    On second thought: Since the common wisdom is that America isn’t really part of the world, it only follows that Earth isn’t part of the solar system.

    Ms Sister – au contraire, I may have gotten the year wrong in the quote, but that is an actual Futurama line. *sigh* my alleged humor is once more allegedly unappreciated. =)
