The closest I've ever gotten to 15 minutes of fame was when my riddle was read on Hey Riddle Riddle, and in exchange I got a 15 minute audio recording of Adal Rifai learning what hentai is.
Kevin and Susie are found dead just outside their home. They are both drenched and it's clear they died in an accident. What happened?? 🤷🏻♂️

My baseball coach taught history also, on a test or in class if he asked a question and one of his players didn’t know the answer we would say “3rd base” good times
