LETTERS

Public apology (humiliation) • It's hard to believe and even harder to admit I may have made a mistake at the recent Scout quiz night. One question was who was the recently deceased lead actress from 'Green Acres'? The given answer was Zsa Zsa Gabor when it should have been Eva Gabor, as a number of teams argued. Apparently Zsa Zsa nearly had a heart attack when told of Eva' s death, but as the saying goes the rumours of her own death were exaggerated! As the three top teams all answered Eva they were all marked wrong therefore no change to the final result was necessary. I hope the controversy and morning tea arguments continue as any advertising is good advertising and we are expecting a bumper crowd at the next quiz proposed for mid-November. Thankyou to the Bulletin for providing the forum for my public apology (and humiliation). Mark Hays AKA 99 out of 100. Editor's note: No doubt it's also Mark's fault that the other 99 answers were correct. Junk debunk The following is in answer to 'Mad Mail Man, Letters, Ruapehu Bulletin 25 July: # Junk mail I may be.
