On Jeopardy yesterday, with the Final Jeopardy category “The Olympics” and the clue: “This sport that made its debut in 1988 has a playing surface of only about 45 square feet.”, the correct response was “What is Table Tennis?”
[The “official” metric dimensions of a table tennis (or Ping-Pong) table now are 2.74m long and 1.525m wide. Originally it was (and for me, it still is) 9 feet long and 5 feet wide (9 ft x 5 ft = 45 sq ft)]
Most of the world has gone to the metric system. The USA and seeveral other countries won’t go with the program. Holding out for no particular reason. BTW, farmers acreage was NOT comverted to hectars due to the added expense of moving farming fences.

The king will be happy. A happy king can be a good thing after he wins a table tennis game playing on the floor.

No. No it wasn’t. How about a nice game of lawn darts.

Ping pong isn’t a good idea, period!

Adjust the table to the king’s height, that will give him the advantage that he wants.

A shorter ping pong table is what we need.

Fink’s solution:
Break Rodney’s legs at the knees.
David Rickard Premium Member over 1 year ago
Switch to volleyball. According to George Carlin, that’s team ping pong played on top of the table with a raised net and inflated ball.

I suggest a new strategy, Rodney. Let the fink win!
