This one time my family went to an (American) football game and my mom asked my dad, "SO WHERE'S THE YELLOW LINE."

ಠ_ಠ all around.

(For people who don't watch American football - when football airs on TV they digitally insert a yellow line to show where the players need to get to.)

there are 18 innings in a match of golf, 9 quarters in a game of baseball, 3 sets in a game of hockey, and 5 periods in a game of tennis. Now go impress your boyfriend.

An acquaintance of mine took a first date to an opera. During the performance, she leaned over and whispered, "This is really great and all, but when's the halftime?"

No shame to be had. Once I argued for a few seconds with a colleague saying we need Young's Modulus, not Modulus of Elasticity. (They are the same property and I have an MS in Mech Eng.) It was pretty quickly I realized my brain had gone on a short vacation.

My friend's girlfriend when we were watching NHL:

"I don't see why the goalie just gives up and quits at the end of the game just because they are losing."

Shit you not.

Do you live in Portland, OR. We have 5 quadrants (N, NE, SE, SW, and NW) and it could lead to confusion.

7,500,000,000 quarters. You were asking the value of the league, in quarters, right? What an odd question.

True story: I went to my first hockey game with my wife. After the 2nd Period I stood up and said "That was a great game!"

She looked at me like I was retarded and said "There are 3 periods."

I sat back down and said "3? What the fuck sport has 3 of anything?"

I asked my cousin to explain it to me once, she said "so each game has 4 quarters.." I interrupted and said "oh! Like a Dollar!" She stopped talking, looked over at my brother and said "that's your sister." I learned about football on my own after that.

In Australia that would be a legitimate question, (how many periods of play ), we have Australian Rules Football (AFL), Rugby League (NRL), Rugby Union (ARU), and there is also 'football' (soccer).

Of the four sports listed 3 of them have halves' (NRL, ARU, and soccer) and the other one has quarters (AFL). So there can be be a greate deal of confusion when it comes to sports; particularly 'football' in Australia.

Why does the number of quarters depend on the sport? It's 1/4^th of the game.

checked your submitted for self-pics... immediately forgiven for not knowing...although really... quarters should suggest 1/4

Mako18 · 1 month

Correct answer: How many quarters are in a dollar?

jacketit · 1 month

If you can't remember b/c you aren't really interested in the game at all, just remember that a quarter is a fourth of something.

hypmoden · 1 month

Quarter = 1/4

I can understand, as the University of California has three quarters instead of semesters: fall, winter, and spring. I don't accept summer as a quarter since it is split up into three separate sessions.
