YEA SO UMM…I THOUGHT THEY WERE FUNNY^
I’m starting to get lonely here and feeling neglected because I don’t write cool articles about monkey dancers or good boss / bad boss. So I figured I’d start a contest!! anyone who gets ONE, at least ONE of these questions right will have the power, NO, the PRIVILEGE of picking the picture and a question of their choice here on Shoebiz Trivia!

And if you get ALL of them right before I post answers, I will shine your shoes and give you a full body massage along with a 5star restaurant gourmet meal.
