We ran a weekly college football pool of the top 30 games and something like Williams at Tufts for the tie breaker and the dumb blonde would say things like, "Furman, what's their mascot?"

I run a little "Beat the teacher" pool and treat anyone who beats me to a pizza lunch. I had/have small classes (reading specialist/now college English) and usually only had one or two kids beat me, but one year I lost to seventeen, about half my caseload. That amounted to over $60 in pizza.
