Texsox Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 quiz show... Possibly, but I doubt Jeopardy would risk it. They are still going strong, I would be more suspicious of some newer or dying show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Totally fixed. How in the hell could he not know H&R Block was the answer...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Okay, but why? What am I missing? for the holiday season you could figure they would hire more people to deliver and process packages to speed things up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Totally fixed. How in the hell could he not know H&R Block was the answer...??? I read some where a while back that he was getting bored with the show. But how in the world can you get bored winning million of dollars? Maybe he just wanted to get off of it.

qwerty Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 That would get kinda tiring to me. You're set for life, now live your life. I would try to make it to one hundred shows. Maybe that is just me, a pretty cool mark to get to imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 H&R Block has offered to prepare his tax returns free for life Nice tie in. Someone mentioned set for life. It depends on how he wants to live his life. Conservative investments on say $1,750,000 (after taxes) would be in the $50,000 to $60,000 range. Not a lot by California standards. He would have to either increase some risk or dig into the principle. He certainly doesn't have to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 for the holiday season you could figure they would hire more people to deliver and process packages to speed things up Well I understand that but I think it's pretty obvious that the majority of Fed-Ex or UPS employees are not white collar workers. Anyways doesn't matter anymore I guess Ken is just dumb as a doornob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways doesn't matter anymore I guess Ken is just dumb as a doornob. Ya, I have no idea how the hell he thought fed ex was white collar or at least the majority. Its a good blue collar job. I'd call him a moron, but he's made more money then I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
