The game show “Get Away”

“Hello! I’m Don John and welcome to the game show “Get Away” where we ask two families to answer questions based on 5 topics they must select. Today we have our champions from the last two years: the Poindexter family! !”
The crowd cheered.
“And here, we have a beautiful new family for today’s game: the Reynolds family!”
The audience applauded.
“Let’s meet the Reynold family from Akron, Ohio. I see a dad and a mom and I have no children. Sir, what is your name and your pretty wife?”
Mr. Reynolds said, “Hi, Don. I’m Henry Reynolds, but you can call me ‘Bubba.’ I work as a clerk at an Exxon gas station and I love, love, love. This is my young wife, Katy. Deja Vum’, a downtown strip joint.”
Katy greeted everyone enthusiastically. She then blew them a sensual kiss.
Don said, “Wow! What an exciting family! No kids?”
Bubba replied, “No, young men, Don. They would just get in the way of her business, because Katy needs her figure for her business. With all those other men and all… You get it, don’t you?”
“Uh… Yeah, I think so.”
“We’ve been married 5 years and…”
His wife interrupted. “Hey honey, I need to talk, I have this client…”
“Okay! Let’s go here to the Pointdexter family!” Don yells. They all cheered.
“For those who have never seen our show before, the Poindexters have won straight up for the last two years.” Applause from the public.
“Let’s meet them again!” She turned to the bearded man wearing glasses. “Sir, introduce yourself!”
“I’m George Peabody Pointdexter and this is my brilliant wife, Louisa-Jayne. We’re from Boston, Massachusetts. We both attend and teach at Harvard University. I have a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and Chemistry. Louisa has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and Chemistry. d in Classics and Chinese Literature. However, I hate to say that he eventually studied for that degree at humble Yale University.” Louisa rolls her eyes.
“We have some new news after being on the show. We have a little one on the way. His name will be William and he will go to the best schools and ultimately Harvard…”
“Okay, George. We know your story pretty well. Now, as everyone who’s seen this show knows, we ask each family one question. If they tie, we ask another two questions until one comes out ahead and wins the prize. What prize? Is that it, Ben?”
Ben’s voice rumbled, “A vacation in historic Israel. Then a short cruise to the Greek Isles and then to Iran, Iraq, and Libya! Total price is $10,000!!”
The Reynolds yelled and clapped at the same time. Katy and Henry leaned in and French kissed each other for ten seconds. The Pointindexters made shocked looks on their faces and looked at each other.
Don yelled, “Okay. Now we have 5 topics today for our mystery questions. One. American Literature, Two. Advances in Chemistry, Three. Mystery Topic. Are you two teams ready?!!!”
The families nodded and the audience applauded.
“Okay, Poindexters. We’ll start with you. Which one will you choose?”
“I can answer that, Don,” George answered. “Chemical breakthroughs, please.” George suddenly felt tense and didn’t know why. His neck suddenly began to ache.
Don looked at the question. “George and Louisa, which two scientists discovered DNA?”
George said as the pain in his neck began to ache much more severely and he rubbed the back of his neck. He looked at the ground, “Ouch! This cramp hurts!”
“No! Sorry! It’s ‘Crick and Watson!'”
The audience is stunned.
“Now, the next question is for the Reynolds… What topic do you want to choose?”
Katy yelled, “American literature.”
Don replied, “It’s American literature!…Question: Which author wrote ‘This Gift from the Wizards’ and ‘The Policeman and the Anthem’?”
The Podexters smiled because they knew the answer. The Reynolds looked at each other. Tears began to roll down Katy’s cheeks. She rested her head on Henry’s shoulder and yelled, “Oh,…Henry…”.
“That’s how it is!”
Katy and Henry looked up. The audience cheered. The Poindexters moved from their bleachers. “This was a setup! What about the million dollars you secretly promised us to stay in the game?”
As everyone cheered, Don said, “We have new champions and they’re going to the Middle East!”
