Like Arthur, I too have never had a bad neg. Mine
were all good ones.
Anyway, this happened to my
best friend in high school. He came to a particular
tournament (Eleanor Roosevelt), and rang in to answer "Who
wrote Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"):
Friend:
"Williams..."
Me (thinking): "Yesss!"
Friend: "...
Shakespeare"
Me: "Aaaargh!"
Well, that was fun. Almost as
fun as me ringing in with "Hashiell Dammet...
Damnit!"
