The Ophir Quiz!

By Jive U. Knott, Trustee

As an ophicial Trustee of Ophir Prison, one of my tasks is to help educate the community about the prison, to put its “best face forward,” as it were. Despite the warden’s best efforts, however, this band and its dum major, Capt. Rufus T. Whizbang, have become the face of the prison.

With that in mind, and in an attempt to promote goodwill and foster a better understanding, I present: the Ophir Quiz! Take this quiz and find out how much you really know about Ophir Prison, about the band, about music, and about your gullibility.

The occasionally original and obligatorily obnoxious Ophir Quiz prize list for the number of correct answers includes:
10-8     A collection of used U.S. Naval Intelligence, compliments of Jonathan Pollard
7-5     A collection of used navel lint, compliments of Rush Limbaugh
4-2     A collection of used naval jelly, compliments of the Ophir Prison sousaphone section
0-1     A peanut to the forehead, personally thrown by Capt. Rufus T. Whizbang
