Names have been changed to protect the stupid. You know how every circle of friends has that one person that nobody really likes? Well, Such was the case with Tess. She was the type of person who would argue with you that Cuba was, in fact, the 53rd state.
One day, long ago, Tess, myself, and several other members of my circle of friends were sitting in the local McDonalds after school. We decided to have what we refer to as "The Cheeseburger Challenge". It's a trivia game, wherein you are asked a general knowledge question and are then given thirty seconds to answer said question. if you get the question right, you gain a point. Get the question wrong, and you lose a point. Let the timer run out, and you neither gain nor lose anything, and then the question is asked to your opponent. Your opponent for this game is a standard, dollar menu McDonalds cheeseburger. The first question posed to Tess was "What band is the movie 'This is Spinal Tap' about?" Her response "I don't know, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones?" Tess is now losing a battle of wits to a cheeseburger.
I can't remember the other questions that were asked, but none of them were any harder than the first one, and the final score, after 15 questions, was negative 15 to zero.
