Had a chuckle tonight while watching Pointless. The question was about famous assassinations.
Clue given was who was shot in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Answer JR.

Her partner's clue was:- Which French revolutionary was murdered in his bath by Charlotte Corday. Answer: Joan of Arc.

Now, I might not have known the answer to the second part (Jean-Paul Marat) but Joan of Arc?

I know sure somebody was asked name a singer called Paul and what do you think they said Paul McCartney.

[-Talbot-]

I'snt Paul McCartney called Paul then?

[weecalf]

Yip called Paul Mac okay

[Prudie]

I further chuckled maggie when the next guy also answered the French Revolutionary one although he knew a couple of others, he was sure it was Napoleon.

[Fanriffic]

Paul McCartney's real first name is James (Paul McCartney).

[maggiebee]

Yes Prudie, forgot that one. Pointless always good for a laugh.

[Tilly2]

That was a repeat. Those stupid answers have been discussed on here before. Don't know where though.

[novalis]

The conspiracy theorist inside me suspects that the guy deliberately answered wrongly with Joan of Arc so his partner did not feel too bad about her answer.

[Prudie]

You are too kind novalis :-)

[Baldric]

Thinking of this one Tilly?
