Johnny Has the Keys Trivia Quiz

Answer: Turkey

In ten-pin bowling, three consecutive strikes is known as a turkey. A strike is when the bowler successfully knocks down all ten pins with one ball. A perfect game in bowling (300 points) would require four consecutive turkeys, including three strikes in the tenth and last frame.

The term turkey comes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Bowling alleys would sometimes award a free turkey as a prize to bowlers who could get three consecutive strikes. At the time hand-set pins and the hard rubber used in bowling balls made this a more difficult task even for experienced bowlers.

Answer: Donkey

Balaam is a diviner in the Biblical Book of Numbers. As the text relates, on one occasion Balaam is on a journey against the wishes of God. God sends the Angel of the Lord to stop him. The Angel is only seen by the donkey Balaam is riding. When the donkey stops in its tracks, Balaam beats the donkey.

The donkey is temporarily given the power of speech and complains about how Balaam is treating him. The Angel then appears to Balaam and says that the donkey stopping saved Balaam's life.

Answer: Jockey

Eddie Arcaro (1916-1997) was a Hall of Fame Jockey who won the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes) twice--in 1941 riding Whirlwind, and in 1948 riding Citation. During his racing career (1932-1962), he won 4,779 races. After his racing career ended, he worked as a commentator for televised races.

Answer: Lackey

Igor is a stereotypical name for a lackey to a mad scientist. A lackey is a term for a servant that has a somewhat negative connotation. Fun fact: You might associate the name Igor with Dr. Frankenstein but in Mary Shelley's novel, the Doctor has no assistant and in the 1931 film "Frankenstein", the assistant's name is Fritz. Characters named Igor or Ygor do appear in several derivative works.

Answer: Hockey

Gordie Howe (1928-2016) was known as "Mr. Hockey". He played 26 seasons in the National Hockey League (1946-1971, 1979-1980) and six seasons in the World Hockey Association (1973-1979). He was a 23-time NHL All-Star. He scored 801 NHL goals and 174 WHA goals.

He was the namesake for a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" where a player scores a goal, records an assist, and gets into a fight in the same game--a feat he accomplished only twice in his career, far fewer than the leaders in that statistic.

Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) replies "Relax...A hickie from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card, when you only care enough to send the very best!"

William Hung sprang to fame during Season 3 of "American Idol" for his off-key rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs".
