Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why didn't Andy think Roger would be leaping with joy over the trip to Boonhurst?

Answer: Because he was carrying a heavy golf bag.

Roger said that it wasn't his fault - the client asked him to bring it!
2. After Roger missed his intended flight, what time was he told he would be arriving in Boonhurst on his new flight schedule?

Answer: 3:25 P.M.

Unfortunately, it was 3:25...next Tuesday.
3. Why was Roger the last person to board his plane?

Answer: He called the steward a "stewardess."

The airline HAD changed the departure gate quite a few times, but Roger still made it on time. However, the steward didn't seem to like him very much...
4. What was the problem with Roger's seat on the plane?

Answer: He had it reclined.

Unfortunately, taking it out of the "reclined" position meant that he was bent forward even further...it certainly didn't look very comfortable.
5. Why did Roger refuse the peanuts?

Answer: He wanted to stay hungry for dinner.

However, since he soon found out there wasn't going to be any dinner, he decided to have the peanuts. Are you feeling sorry for him yet?
6. What was the title of the inflight movie?

Answer: Alive

It was "the harrowing true story of how an airplane crash left its survivors alone and forced to eat their dead." It was shown for free, but blinders and earplugs cost $20. Pretty smart, eh?
7. When the plane flew over the Grand Canyon, it was on a flight from where to where?

Answer: Chicago to Boston

Naturally, it was a little late arriving...
8. When Roger finally got home, where were Andy and Jason?

Answer: At the hospital

Jason had been hit by a car..."Hot Wheels" edition.
9. How many stitches did Jason need after his accident?

Answer: 3

They were on his chin.
10. Why did Roger feel guilty about Jason's accident?

Answer: He wasn't there when Jason got hurt.

Which is why he decided to quit his job.
11. Complete the quote. When Andy heard that Roger had quit his job, she said, "You quit your job? Are you _____?"

Answer: insane

Strangely enough, the kids had the exact same reaction...
12. When Roger told the kids that they could now spend the summer doing fun things together, Jason suggested they play a game first. What game was that?

Answer: hide-and-seek

Obviously, the kids made themselves very difficult to find...
13. What was Roger's first plan to make money without a job?

Answer: The "Willy Millions Rags-to-Riches Home-study Progam."

Apparently that infomercial was very persuasive...or maybe Roger's just gullible.
14. Did Roger have to take a pay cut when he returned to work?

Answer: Yes

He had to take a pay cut, despite the fact that people with his skills generally make six times what he gets paid under Mr. Pembrook.
15. What was the "one catch" to Roger getting his job back?

Answer: His umemployed time counted as burned-up vacation time.

This made his family happy -- it meant they wouldn't have to go camping over the summer. By the way, Roger did have to dress up as a clown for Mr. Pembrook in one series; it just wasn't in this one.
