What I learned from watching The Simpsons...

Today at work, when I was finishing up with a client and asking him if he would like to rebook, he told me that he was going out of town for work, but would call me in a fortnight. I thought about it and realized that without the Simpsons I would not know what 'fortnight' meant. It is not a completely useless show....it also helped me answer a trivia question from our page-a-day trivia calendar. It was something like "In the movie Ben-Hur, who gave Ben-Hur a drink of water when he passed out in the dessert?" I knew the answer...not because I have ever seen the movie Ben-Hur, but because I recalled Mr. Burns' contribution to the Springfield Film festival. I love that show!
