Alan Rock's Trivia Questions

Q: Cowboy movie star Hopalong Cassidy was born on June 5, 1895. Hopalong wasn't his real name; it was actually Prancealong. No, seriously, what was the actor's real name?
A: William Boyd. He played Hopalong Cassidy in 66 movies and a hundred TV shows. The original Hopalong Cassidy did, indeed, hop along. In the novels by Clarence E. Mulford, Cassidy had a gimp leg. He also was a profane slob who never took a bath. But in those days, Hollywood cleaned up everything. They still clean up, but only at the box office.

Q: Which has more neck bones -- giraffes or mice?
A: They both have the same number of neck bones: seven.

Q: How much cash is needed to open a Swiss bank account?
A: 100,000 Swiss francs, or approximately $80,000.
