Title: Trivia For Old Farts
Post by: Solar on April 30, 2012, 02:11:41 PM
I thought I'd give this one it's own thread, since I won't give it away till someone answers correctly.
The only way you'll get this one, is if you remember the marketing campaign from the ****s.
I don't want to give out any clues so people can google the answer.

OK, here's one for you old farts.
Are you a Turtle?
That's it, if you remember this one, you'll know how to answer.

I know, I tried a few years back and had trouble finding it.
Unless you know the answer, you couldn't find it in google.

I think this was one of the best ad campaigns of it's time, it was as common as Here come da judge, or you bet your bippy.

Bingo! But Walks beat in a PM.
It originated with pilots in WWII, but I think it was Jim Beam that used it as a marketing campaign in the 60s.
There were four questions that went with the initiation.

When I was initiated, the final task was to kneel on the ground and raise your arms and act like you were praying to the gods, all the while repeating very slowly at first and speeding up till you heard the Gods speak to you.
You had to say Oh...wha...ta...nas....Siam.
After repeating it for a few minutes rather fast, you hear the God speak.

Oh What An Ass I am!

Oh what a fool we were. :laugh:
