Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the first year that Jackson, Mississippi had a St. Patrick's Day Parade and saw the Sweet Potato Queens?

Answer: 1982

The original parade was held on the actual date of St. Patrick's Day-which was, that year, on a Thursday. Now it is held on a Saturday near the actual day.

Answer: The Promise

I cannot spell out exactly what "The Promise" is, in "mixed company"-but I will gladly answer it in a private message. The only hint I will give is that my husband swears it would work!

3. Grandaddy Harvey gave Jill Conner Brown the best advice anyone has ever given her. She was kind enough to share it. What was Grandaddy Harvey's advice?

Answer: Be particular.

Grandaddy Harvey lived in Kosciusko, Mississippi, was thin as a rail and rolled his own cigarettes. His words every time were "Y'all come when you can and be particular." Enough said.

4. Under the heading of "be prepared", an essential principle of the SPQ's is "Never wear____________ to a party."

Answer: Panties

The rest of the saying, the song, the chapter is: "never wear panties to a party, if you want to have a real good time..."

5. What is an appropriate manner in which to obtain one's crown?

Answer: Go buy your own and declare yourself Queen.

According to Jill and the Sweet Potato Queens, no woman should ever have to walk across a stage in a bathing suit just to wear a crown-but every woman deserves a crown!

6. Every woman must have five men in her life at any given time. Which one below is NOT one of the required males?

Answer: The man that does the laundry.

The other two are the man who you have great sex with and the man who you can talk to-but not necessarily in that order!

7. Tammy's rule is to "Treat 'em like crap and never give'em any!"

Answer: True

She swears it works like a charm!

8. Jewelry is a wonderful gift, but must meet certain criteria. Which of the below is the minimum?

Answer: It must be expensive and/or antique.

"Expensive jewelry is profoundly appreciated, wildly expensive jewelry, quite naturally, is wildly appreciated. Cheap jewelry, however, is worse than no jewelry at all."

9. A man's hair can be a danger signal.

Answer: True

This one speaks for itself.

10. Identify the Queen's code word for widowhood.

Answer: Zippity-do-dah

Being a widow is definitely preferable-for many reasons-to being a divorcee.
