Welcome to Jeopardy

The game where regular Joes and politicians get to match wits...(in your dreams...)

Alex Trebek:  "Welcome to Jeopardy. Let's meet our contestants, beginning with Frostbite Falls Mayor and Russian 
defector, Boris Badinoff." 

Boris:  "Hello Alex. Remember "fearless leader" is watching." 

Alex: "Who is "fearless leader?" 

Boris: "If you not know who "fearless leader is, you betta watch it!" 

Alex: "I'm shaking in my boots, Boris." 

Boris: "Good. Fearless Leader likes shaking boots." 

Alex: "Let's get to know you a little better, Boris." 

Alex: "Boris, I understand you're having some problems with your budget over there. Were you really off in your 
projections by $7.5 million last year, leaving a huge deficit compounded by more ridiculous revenue projections for 
2004?" 

Boris:  "It's all just a misunderstanding. Huge grants will be arriving any day now from dozens of Nigerian individuals 
I've been corresponding with by e-mail." 

Alex:  "I see. Our next guest is Bart Simpson, executive director of the Mississippi River Joint Toll Bridge 
Commission. Bart, You've been under fire for secret meetings, drug running, accepting favors from prostitutes and 
vendors, deception about the purpose of your gigantic toll increase and now paying expensive consultants to train 
your workers to deceive the public with vague, evasive language. Your response?" 

Bart: "Eat my shorts." 

Alex: "Now, be serious, Bart. My patience runs thin!" 

Bart: "Okay, okay. We are empowering our associates to leverage their communicatory resources to maximize 
their ability to elucidate our objectives in an efficacious manner. Whewwww! Try saying that fast five times. I bet 
you can't Alex. If you can I'll eat my own shorts!!" 

Alex: "Some other time, Bart." 

Alex: "Money well spent, I see. And our third guest is President George W. Bush. Mr. President, it's a thrill to 
have you here." 

George:  "Thank you, Alex.  I'm a big fan of your show. Where's Vanna?" 

Alex:  "Let's see our categories. They are: World Leaders, War and Peace, The Economy, Plain Speaking and 
Action Figures. George, as leader of the Free World, you begin." 

George:  "Bring it on.  I'll take Action Figures for $40." 

Alex:  "Nemesis of He-Man."  BZZZ. "George." 

George:  "Who is Skeletor? Action Figures for $60." 

Alex:  "Elite force of GI Joe members diguised as..." BZZZ. "George." 

George:  "What are Spy Troops? Action Figures for $80." 

Alex:  "Optimus Primal is ...?" BZZZ. "George." 

George:  "What is Transformers Maximal?" 

Boris: "This is ridiculous. Did you brief the guy on the categories in advance?" 

George:  "I've been collecting action figures for years. I use them to act out many of our battle plans in the Oval 
Office before I authorize military..." 

Vice President Dick Cheney entering the studio: "Mr. President, I don't think we need to get into that kind of 
detail." 

Alex: "Please make your next selection." 

George:  "Just to satisfy the whiner over here, I'll switch categories.Plain Speaking for $60." 

Alex:  "Overcharging the public."  BZZZ. "Bart." 

Bart:  "What is maximizing your monetary resources to meet the intimidatory paradigm of inflation, terrorism 
and regulatory..." 

Alex: "No." BZZZ. "Boris." 

Boris:  "What is gouging? Plain Speaking for $100." 

Alex:  "Public officials taking an expensive, unnecessary resort trip under the pretense of training."  BZZZ. "Bart." 

Bart:  "What is an entirely justifiable investment in enhancing the parameters of ..." 

Alex: "No. Whoops, we're out of time. Bart, you're in the hole, so you can take your parameters out of here. 

George and Boris, please write down your Final Jeopardy wagers. Our final answer is:  "The biggest issue 
facing our nation today." (Theme music) 

"Boris, you had $160. You answered...What is one-way streets as a contributor to crime? Wrong.   You wagered
 ... $2.2 million. I'm afraid you have a gigantic deficit. 

"George, you had $180. You answered..."What are steroids in sports and gay marriage?" 

"That's incredibly wrong. You wagered....$477 billion. Gentlemen, you can't spend more than you have." 

George: "Wanna bet?"
