    I don't blame her for wishing to remain anonymous. I have a mild case of prosopagnosia (face blindness) and I don't tell people IRL, because I worry over the possible pranks (or worse). I mean, people could call her and claim to be someone else and she wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    "That's a very nice suit you've got there, Trebek."


    A bit of back-and-forth, then:


    "Oh, and Alex?"


    "Yes?"


    "Do they make it for men?"

    Sean Connery was out of work for a time and took a gig with Hollywood Video. He was sooo annoying always calling to tell me when my movies were late. At least Tom Hanks was polite when he called.

    Sean Connery: It looks like this is my lucky day! I'll take "The Rapists" for $200.


    Alex Trebek: That's "Therapists." That's "Therapists," not "The Rapists." Let's skip "Therapists" and try "Household Objects", for $400. And the answer is, "You usually drink water out of one of these." [Sean Connery buzzes in] Sean Connery.


    Sean Connery: A leather glove!

    @KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: That one is my absolute FAVORITE. Whenever anyone asks me a question I don't know the answer to, I usually reply with "a leather glove!".


    Sometimes even if I do know the answer and just want to be funny. Or am drunk.

    @Spaceman Bill Leah has the Crazy Eyes: I like this one and "S Words." SNL Sean Connery quotes are too much fun. "...and you're mother's a whore" is always funny.

    KH proving once again that the Scottish accent (especially as spoken by the mighty Sean) is the best on earth!

    Oh and it's a burr, not a brogue. The brogue is Irish & also very nice!

    I mean, if you're only going to get one, it might as well be a delicious Scottish one that makes me think of hot cocoa and a good book. Oh, and Celeb Jeopardy, but that's not really an intrinsic quality of his voice.
