Now what am I going to talk about when I'm on the show?

A transcript of Alex Trebek's interview with a contestant on tonight's "Jeopardy!"...

Alex: Tim Woodward is a teacher from Salem, New Hampshire. There is, ladies and gentlemen, a fine line between "fan" and "fanatic," and I suspect that Tim may have crossed over that line with regard to baseball. Tell us.
Tim: Yes, a friend of mine and I had some summer free time, and we decided to see nine baseball games in nine days all across the country. We started in Los Angeles, drove 26 hours to Houston, and then went on from there. Dallas, Wichita, Oklahoma City. Ended in Chic-- oh, ended in Detroit after going to Chicago.
Alex: What was the purpose of this?
Tim: To see some baseball.
Alex: How cool. Nine games in nine different cities -- you know, you can see nine games in the same city. We have the Angels and the Dodgers here. You could see four or five --
Tim: The Angels were out of town.
Alex: Oh. That explains it. All right.

Comments:
You could talk about how our trip was better planned, lengthier, and more rigorous.
 
Poor guy -- he nearly managed to forget going to Detroit.
