Title: The Annual Custer Quiz.
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 19, 2010, 06:31:04 PM
For those of you anxiously waiting to help out in my annual Custer quiz, I have sad news. There won't be one this year. Apparently, this is due to a dwindling number of entries. Some of you may remember that, a couple of years ago, I triumphantly  announced that I'd secured third place and picked up a cheque for twenty dollars.
My most recent newsletter announced that, two years ago, only three people entered.....

I'll meet you in Billings after you drop off the kids for swimming.
Actually, you can't be far from the Northern Montana border.

I think Mince has hijacked Diamond Lil...

So does Mince getting your gender wrong  invalidate his answer? I hope so.

I thought Mince would have jumped in by now but here goes with my understanding of it all...
Punctuation at the end of a sentence goes inside the quotes.    (the whole sentence is being quoted)
The final question mark relates to that sentence which just happens to include a quote.

Now let's wait for Mince to appear to say I'm talking $%^&  8)
