True, False, False, or True?
George: Does anyone know what the Internet is good for other than looking up complicated words and stalking celebrities?
Ringo: Um . . . no.
John: That's exactly what it's for, all right.
Paul: No, you guys are wrong. It's also good for taking stupid quizzes to burn time.
George: Has anyone here been to allthetests.com? If you haven't, you need to go there because you'll never be bored again.
Audience: Yes!
Paul: Well, that's where we got this quiz. It's called the Random Facts Quiz and the answers are true or false.
John: This ought to be good.
Ringo: Let's start.
George: Okay. First question, "All toilets flush in the key of E flat."
Paul: That's false!
John: Yeah! I've been to a lot of toilets and there's no way they flush in the same key.
Ringo: *thinking.* Hmm. Yeah. I've flushed a toilet and I swear it was in G major.
Paul: "Banging your head on a wall burns 150 calories every hour."
George: What?!?
John: Whoever tried to prove that must have wound up with a killer headache.
Ringo: *thinking.* Ehhhhhhhhhhh . . . that might be true.
George: It's a good way to burn calories without getting on a treadmill. I'll say that's true.
John: Yep. Next. "Every elephant weighs between 2,000 and 4,000 kg."
Paul: *raises hand.* I have a quick question.
John: *irritated.* What?
Paul: How much is a kilogram?
George: About two pounds.
Ringo: That means the elephant would be four thousand to eight thousand pounds.
Paul: I'll say true.
George and Ringo: Yep.
Ringo: "In the U.K. it is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day."
John: Bollocks!
George: That's just a legend.
Paul: Yep yep.
George: "The primary ingredient in gravy is corn starch."
Ringo: Wait. There's corn starch in gravy?!?
John: What?!? Isn't that the stuff they put on babies with diaper rash?
Paul: No! That's true.
John: Corn starch on babies with a rash?
Paul: No! I meant the question.
Ringo: Is it? I've never made gravy. Barbara does all the cooking.
John: I only bake bread. Yoko does the rest.
Paul: Well, I do most of the cooking at my house and corn starch is a major factor of gravy.
John: So when I eat gravy, I'm eating baby rash powder?
Paul: Ye— No!
Ringo: *starts cackling.* He almost said yes!
George: *cracks a crooked grin.*
John: Oh, this is a good one: "The average woman uses her height in lipstick every five years."
Paul: That's a lot of lipstick!
George: Wow.
Ringo: I guess it depends how tall she is.
George: Liv doesn't use that much lipstick . . . so I'm going to say false.
Paul: You're just going off one woman! Think about all of them!
George: *shudders.* I don't want to.
Ringo: I agree with George: false.
Paul: It does sound pretty far-fetched, doesn't it? I'll go with false.
Ringo: "Pteronophobia is the fear of magpies."
John: Who would be afraid of magpies?!?
Paul: I don't know. They've got some shrill chirping.
George: How could that be the fear of magpies? That's the fear of feathers!
John: *turns to look at him slowly, eyes narrowed.* How do you know that?
George: *nervous.* I— I . . . don't know.
Paul: What— are you afraid of feathers, Georgie?
George: What? No!
John: Then how'd you know?
George: I have an advanced vocabulary.
Ringo: *snorts.*
George: Whose side are you on, Richard?
Ringo: I'm neutral.
George: *crosses his arms.* Now you sound like Paul.
John: *laughs evilly.* Next time you come over to my place, we're watching The Birds movie.
George: *shrieks.* Oh, Krishna, no!
Paul: You are afraid of them!
George: No, I'm not!
John: Just admit it!
George: No!
Ringo: Okay, okay. Break it up. True or false?
Paul: Well, George said it was false and he has it, so we'll listen to him.
George: I don't have pteronophobia!
John: *rolls his eyes.* Sure you don't.
George: Moving on! "If you lift a kangaroo's tail off the ground it can't hop."
Paul: False!
Ringo: I don't know. I've seen them hop off their tail.
John: But think about their legs! Those things look powerful! They could probably hop just fine without their tail on the ground.
Ringo: I suppose you're right. False.
John: "Bananas curve because of a natural vitamin in their skins."
George: That sounds scientific enough.
Paul: *thinking.* Hmmm.
Ringo: Why would their skin have anything to do with it? Wouldn't it be something else?
George: Like what, Richard?
Ringo: *shrugs.* I don't know. Maybe the tree?
Paul: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
George: That sounds stupid . . . and false.
Ringo: Okay, I'll say true.
Paul: Same. Okay. Last one and then we can get the results. "Yogurt can be made out of fruit and milk alone."
John: Don't you need eggs?
George: I never thought about that. ARE there eggs in yogurt?
Ringo: I'll Google it.
Paul, John, and George: No!
Ringo: *freezes.* Why not?
Paul: That would be cheating!
George: *snatches his phone from him.* No Googling, Richard.
John: Yeah! We're playing this fair and square!
Ringo: Says the man who never plays anything fair!
John: *gasps dramatically.* I can't believe you said that to me. I am so hurt.
Ringo: *rolls his eyes.*
George: I'll say it's false.
John: False.
Paul: Ringo?
Ringo: *arms crossed and sulking.*
Paul: What's your vote, Ringo?
Ringo: *silent.*
John: *yells.* SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!
Ringo: *mumbles.* False.
George: Here's our certificate. Let's just say we didn't do too good.
Paul: *winces.* Ouch.
John: Wow. That is bad.
Ringo: We shouldn't feel too bad. 2,387 other people got around the same score.
George: Great. Now we're ranked with all the other morons.
Paul: Hey, be nice!
George: It's not an insult if we're morons ourselves!
John: Speak for yourself, Harrison! You're the only moron around here!
George: *feigns surprise.* Oh, really? I see one right in front of me.
John: You take that back!
George: No.
John: Take it back!
George: No.
John: TAKE IT BACK, YOU SOD!
George: No!
John: *dives across the table.*
*hurriedly switches to a commercial break.*
