It was especially funny because I was being heckled (good-naturedly) by someone in the audience, who posited I should know All the Words since I was a librarian. When I got that as the last word I waved off the rest of my team, strutted up to the microphone,
and said, "Gymkhana, g-y-m-k-h-a-n-a, gymkhana. National Velvet by Enid Bagnold, call number J F Bagn."<br>

Don't heckle a librarian.</div>
