Foiled by French
In a total gag, I participated in a charity fund raising spelling bee, a la the Putnam County Spelling Bee on Broadway. There were about 40 people in on this. I survived the word “treatise” but got knocked out on the word “chauffeur” - needed to buy a vowel. I would have done much better if it were a vocabulary bee, and not a spelling bee - I think I knew the meanings of all of the words. Oh well - it went to a good cause.

Aww, I missed the spelling bee! It sounded like a cool gag for a charity funding, and I like to think that I’m a decent speller.
