CHOCO-QUIZ TIME!

Hush, boys and girls! It's time for another Choco-Quiz. Are you ready? Too bad. Take out your #2's. I will have no cheating. Betty, did you hear that? (Copyboy, hide your paper this time). Cheeseboy, I hope the tutoring has paid off and you'll give this one a try, dear.

Take as long as you need (state Special Ed laws and all). Feel free to send the answers to my email directly through my profile page (especially you, Blase. I know you have my address. Wink, Wink.) or list them in the comments section. No, you just had a potty break, Seductress and Marlene. Don't think I don't see you eyeing Jimmy and Daniel on the playground. Sarah dear, win this one for the girls. Okay? You were close last time, but PowderedToastMan and TSHendrik took the win. They both got a big kiss from Obama. [Rumour has it the President tried to get away with more than a platonic kiss.] Of course, there will be another chocolately prize this time. Good luck!
