National Mental Health Day

Now don't get yourself in an uproar about my title. It is to be taken with a grain of salt and with tongue in cheek. There are some days where you say to yourself " Is it me or is everyone a little crazy today." Maybe it is the planned trip with my granddaughter to the hill country this weekend and I am getting a little antsy. My granddaughter just loves going to see her great grandparents and that is what we are looking forward to. Along with going swimming in a small creek that runs on my parents property and riding the 4 wheeler among other things. So today might be my last post until next week and I thought I would put out there this little quiz. I was just thinking if May is Mental Health Awareness Month what does it mean when your birthday is in the same month. It must mean I am unique, special, one of a kind and all those other wonderful things you can think of. :)))) I hope you enjoy it and it puts a smile on your face like it did mine. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers.

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters " dw" and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter "S."
