A few months ago, Howard Stern hosted Julie Cailini ('96 Playmate of the
Year) and Stacey Sanchez ('97 Playmate of the Year) for a morning of sordid
joviality. The ladies, who were promoting their latest calendars, answered
ten questions from Howard, ostensibly to demonstrate how important it is
for them *AS ROLE MODELS* for young women to stay up on current affairs.

The ladies' answers were amusing (and a bit sad), but the bit did prove that
you don't have to be a neurosurgeon to earn a pile of cash!  Love him or
hate him, you have to appreciate Howard's sense of the absurd.

    Q: Who is the President of Russia?
	 Julie: "Gorbachev"
	 Stacey: "Gretzky"
	 (Boris Yeltsin)

    Q: Define the meaning of NAACP.
	 Julie: "Something, something, for Certified Pianists"
	 Stacey: "It's some kind of police organization."
	 (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)

    Q: Who was the inventor of the lightbulb?
	 Julie: "I know Edison invented the telephone, but I can't
		 remember the lightbulb guy."
	 Stacey: "I don't know."
	 (Thomas A. Edison. Alexander Graham Bell was the phone guy!)

    Q: Who is the Speaker of the House?
	 Julie: "Gore something-or-other."
	 Stacey: "Bill Clinton."
	 (Newt Gingrich)

    Q: Define the meaning of the letters CIA.
	 Julie: "I don't know."
	 Stacey: "Certified Investigation Association."
	 (Central Intelligence Agency)

    Q: What is the center of our solar system?
	 Julie: "The Equator"
	 Stacey: "The Moon"
	 (The Sun)

Changing his tack to create better odds for the girls, Howard switched to
what he termed "industry related" questions:

    Q: What do the initials "DK" stand for?
    A: both knew it was fashion designer "Donna Karan."

    Q: What is "Cristal?"
    A: both knew it was an elite champagne

    Q: What car company has a model known as a "911?"
    A: both knew it was Porsche

    Q: Who's face is on the (U.S.) $100 bill?
    A: both knew it was Ben Franklin
