In the 1984 movie “The Karate Kid”, Daniel’s tournament-winning kick shares its name with what bird?

A: Eagle	B: Hawk
C: Crane	D: Falcon

He remember the hands, but it’s been too long to remember for sure. A crane sounds too aggressive. It’s phone a friend time!

John (colleague at the Defense Information School)

John’s got the image in his mind and it looks like a crane. Times runs out before saying how confident he is.

Jeff says “No Guts, No Glory” His final answer is C. Mark is “Rockin’ With the Sarge”…ROCKAWAY!

In the audience now is Jeff’s wife Barbara. You can tell by the “hoo-hah”.

B and D are dismissed right away. Meredith takes a moment to see Mark and Barbara holding hands. HMMM???!!! Anyway, Jeff reaches into his head. Finally, he comes to C. Meredith gets to ask “Final Answer”. He confirms with a “Goofy” accent. Mark’s not sure this time. Barb thought it was A…GOOD THING SHE COULDN’T SAY ANYTHING!

The smartest man in Washington!
Meredith

Last week, when a Navy man won $125K, Meredith thought the Navy was the smartest branch. Now “I’m an Army Girl”. FICKLE! Jeff’s going “Mind if I faint now?”

$250,000
