Atlanta Analogies and Jokes about De-Nile
Atlanta Analogies and Jokes about De-Nile Make a Silly Game Show Sillier–for the Better, that is by Roxanne McDonald

In especially good humor, Foxworthy makes for a fun episode #106 of “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” |
He was slick, calm, cool, collected, and cracking wise the whole night through:
He stresses the fact that a contestant has made an impressive choice, saying, “You jumped all the way to the third grade!”
He reminds the player, “You’re banking on someone who might have an imaginary friend.”
When the question involves what the longest river in the world is, and contestant Deborah answers the Nile, he tosses out the familiar, “So you’re not in de-Nile?” Then he adds, “I had to.”
When the question is how many feet are in a mile, and Deborah is taking forever to decide on an answer she is comfortable with (while the fifth graders all answer in a heartbeat), Foxworthy first suggest she “think of a place that you know is a mile…and then count it off in your feet.”
When she finally gets to locking in her answer, he says, “There’s people that run the mile faster than it took you to answer that.”
When the question involves saying how many moons Mars has, Deborah umms and umms some more, then mutters something about how “…Mars is the red planet….” Foxworthy jabs, “If only that was the question.”
Again he brings in the fifth-grade level factor, telling her, “You’re resting your hopes if you’re wrong on someone whose hands probably smell like Play-Dough.”
When the first grade grammar question asks for Deborah to identify the number of proper nouns in the sentence that reads “In Oklahoma, Oprah met our ostrich Ozzie,” Deborah is vacillating over whether Oprah is a proper noun or a pronoun, and Foxworthy quips, “I know it’s a television show.”
And in quintessential southern style, comparing one abstraction to something Southern, blue-collar, everyman, Foxworthy jokes, “You’re changing your mind more than a dog in a fire hydrant factory.”
His jokes, coming more than an angry farmer can swing a possum, make up a large part of what makes “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” fun. Again.
