— First question in Bjarne’s Rock and Roll Bar Trivia: What was the title of the debut record of the Electric King Poodles from 1973?
— Uhh…I should probably know this.
— Who was the bassist from the same band?
— Should’ve taken this one…
— Yup, you should’ve! But I’ve got it!
— Again, same band: Name their one song that was played on the Norwegian top hit list.
— Totally blank…
— What—and how much—were you smoking at the time? We’re talking about your old band!

— Yes then, this here is moonshine.
— Same over here.
— “Yes we love this country”
