Game Show Question

It was the final answer for the big game show and the contestant was one question away from the big 1 million dollar prize.

"To be today's champion," the show's smiling host intoned, "name two of Santa's reindeer."

The contestant gave a sigh of relief, gratified that she had drawn such an easy question.....no life line was needed.

"Rudolph!" she said confidently, "and, ...Olive!"

The studio audience started to applaud (as the little sign above their heads said to do), but the clapping quickly faded into mumbling, and the confused host replied, "Yes, we'll accept Rudolph, but could you please explain.. 'Olive?!?'"

"You know," she said as she circled her hand forward impatiently and began to sing, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glowed. Olive, the other reindeer..."
