My son even asked me to drive through "the hood" but thought better of it after seeing a few blocks.
A tough question for you all Page 2
Was JFK a Major? And did another Major get shot? e.g. in the parade?
The cop that Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot?
You really would have to be a comedy buff to know the answer to this question.
Then you'd better tell us.

JFK served in the Navy; major is not a naval rank.
Texas Governor Connally was also critically shot as he rode with Kennedy. Oswald also killed a police officer after he fled the scene of the assassination.
So this is a fictional event?
Is it in a comedy where someone asks "Where where you when JFK was shot?" and someone replies "I was...."?

Is it something to do with first colour broadcast for a comedy show (or first filming - shooting - in colour)?
Or do you mean shooting with a gun?

No.

Getting warmer, Seefacts.
Was it Don Rushmore? Or is that shooting happening later when you don't give us the answer?
Badge got it - first episode of Dr Who.
Wasn't it?
Quote: Seefacts @ March 29 2009, 3:42 PM BSTI don't know - are you going to write some bland unfunny satire?
Surely you have the "bland unfunny" market covered?
The first colour broadcast was 1967 according to the old internet.

Yawn.

First ever Dr Who was broadcast the day after JFK was shot. So Badge is wrong, Shaggy.
I have a feeling that this will be depressingly obvious...
