50 ways to earn a living without working - the pub quiz

As I stared at the flickering screen today at work I tried hard to think of 50 possible ways of earning a decent living by doing very few hours of actual work.

The alternative careers were exciting but all had to be discounted:
chat line hostess (too prone to giggling)
counsellor (too impatient)
marrying a rich man (too bad at flirting)
prostitution (too old)
'IT' girl (too many boring people at parties and too little food)

Then I remembered we were going to a pub quiz tonight and, HEY, there's a cash prize.  Pub quizzes are where you arrange to take some other, slightly cleverer friends than you out for a night and a drink.  You go to a pub pay £1 for the quiz, buys ya drink (diet coke), then try to answer some god awful trivia questions.  

At our local, there is the added excitement of the man in the corner who wouldn't give us a spare chair, but who was also once an actor in the Eastenders Soap  (we think he now works as an accountant because he wears very dodgy shorts and flipflops).  

As you sit there racking your brains, you get the chance to reminisce.  Memories come back of watching TV in a great big bed with your family as a child as your dad tries to tell you the capital of the Ivory Coast.   You remember the TV presenters who were your role models and the conversations at school the next day on how no one liked the round window in Jackanory, and where did they keep the plant pot.  In fact one of my friends remembered tonight that Terence Stamp, classical actor, looked a lot like her grandmother.  (get us a picture Stevie!).

We never win though, although once we won a bag of crisps between us, and it's still a talking point today.  I reallly do think that pub quizzes are something special.  Very levelling in the community.  Everyone should do them.  Perhaps I could read up and earn some serious money with this.
