I got final. T & Co is very near and dear to me. Got my wedding band from there, among other things, most notably, THE dumbest thing I have ever bought in my life. Anything you wear, it’s made for other people to see; even if lingerie, for at least one other person. However, what is one clothing accessory that is never, ever supposed to be seen? How about a collar stay? Then, buy it in silver from Tiffany. Genius! (NOT!)
Also, though, about a decade ago, was in correspondence with Bill Bragger, the Tiffany historian. Nice guy, and has, possibly, THE best job ever.
As ably stated by Howard, as always, Nam was just thisclose to the runaway, and it did cost him. Everyone has their Achilles heel.
The last clue is what prevented Nam from securing a runaway, and it cost him dearly. I didn’t know FJ but guessed Tiffany.
Did not expect Nam to know the UNCF on that DD. (He may have, though, but confused it with UNICEF.) It was better-known in the 1970s, when it devised the famous slogan “A mind is a terrible thing to waste,” or as VP Dan Quayle butchered it, “What a waste it is to lose one’s mind.”
Thought someone would know the (blank) of friction, but it wasn’t the type of clue one could guess.
A slam dunk for Fj. Why have the contestants been shaking hands and hugging at the end of the show now? I mean, this isn’t supposed to be a family get together.
The way I see it, after one group did it, they all thought it was good and followed suit. Kind of like the bring it thing.
