WORLD RECORDS

A bit I always wanted to try in college was inspired by an infamous board game played on Carson-Newman's campus a few years before my arrival. Some students at my alma mater hold the world record for the longest game of Monopoly ever (which sounds like torture to me)...several days long.

My idea was to phone the folks at the Guinness Book and claim to have broken some records of my own...but all of them subjective. So for instance, the call would go something like: "Yeah, I think I broke the record for having the longest streak of bad days in a row." Or, "I just told the funniest joke ever. Could someone from your organization come out to verify?"
