Alex: George, you only have $600. What is your wager?

Bush: Alex, I can say as President of the United States, additional funding is sometimes necessary to protect democracy. Freedom isn't free. It's my job to make sure these ruthless dictators don't gain control and win this war on terror.

Alex: This is not a war on terror. This is a quiz show. Alright. In an unprecedented move, our judges have decided to allow George to wager $25,000-- much more than he has. Now the clue: In September of 1997, at a conference in Vienna, delegates from over 80 States moved to amend this 1963 protocol.

Bush: What is.... What is "the Vienna Sausage Convention?"

Alex: I'm sorry. The answer we were looking for was, "Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage." That's going to leave you with a $24,400 deficit.

Bush: (mumbling) That's horseshit. We only have 50 states.

Alex: Alright. It's time for us to take a break. We'll be back after these messages.

"Head On. Applied directly to the forehead. Head On. Applied directly to the forehead. Head On. Applied directly to the forehead."

(Jeopardy! theme music)

Alex: Welcome back, everybody. We've got an update for you. During our break, our judges have decided to credit George $25,000 for his response,"Vienna Sausage Convention." Although that was not the response we were looking for, it's close enough. Unfortunately, the money will have to come
from future earnings of other contestants.

(theme music)

Alex: This will make George our Jeopardy! Champion. Thanks everybody for tuning in and we hope you'll watch next week as we have our "Jeopardy! Tournament of Tyrants: Wives Edition." Two challengers will face off against the First Lady of Kazakhstan. We hope to see you then. Goodnight.
