“Wheel of Fortune” fans were less than happy with the way one contestant was treated. Renee Durette was ruled incorrect when she dropped the “g” from the phrase “Seven Swans a-Swimming.” It cost her nearly $4,000 – and the game.
Beware The Blurred Word
When appearing on a game show
And you want to win some money,
Avoid the judges’ “kayo” -
Keep your disposition sunny.
When you decide on the solution
And are all set to announce it,
Plan well your execution –
Be sure you can pronounce it.

Increased activity at the Pole.
The North Pole is the scene of increased activity as Santa and his staff make final preparations for the night before Christmas. All indications are that lift-off will be right on time.
On His Way
As Santa prepares for his flight,
That begins on Christmas Eve night,
The Elf and his deer
Should have nothing to fear
As they fly in and then out of sight.
