What is your "Jeopardy story"?
You have 30 seconds to answer a question from Trebek about something odd or funny in your life.
On Jeopardy they usually entail "backpacking through ..." stories or celebrity encounters.

1. I once shot Diet Dr. Pepper out of my nose when I heard...
Alex Trebek read a Jeopardy clue about Jimi Hendrix.

Referring to the cut on Electric Ladyland, "Voodoo Chile", he pronounced it as "Voodoo Chili".

True story.

5. My Jeopardy Story
I watched Jeopardy once.

I thought there were a lot of commercials.

Later, I got rid of that TV.

The end

If this story sells well, maybe someday I will write a sequel

6. He also asks the contestants about unusual collections...
So I guess the producers don't want you to talk about your vintage porn or your fingernail and hair clippings (Orthodox Jews only need apply for those) so I would be banal and mention my fridge magnets from everywhere I travel. I know, boring, but I have one from Australia where the Kangaroo hops, and an exploding Vesuvius from Pompeii. So watch with the disses, people ;-)
