You have a dollar in your pocket and are walking down
the street. You see a dollar on the ground and pick it up.

A few steps later there is another dollar on the ground and
you pick it up.

Ok, what have you got?

Ok, I'm not going to get the QI alarms on this with the 'obvious' answer because I don't want to be ridiculed!

Well done Michael.
I remember that from the "Daddy and Paddy" radio show
many moons ago.

Scott, sorry you were not even thought of at that stage.

Because I have nothing better to do I just found out the QI alarm is called the "QI Klaxon" which sounds like this:

A Klaxon is:


A Klaxon is a type of electric horn which emits a particularly loud and penetrating sound. The word Klaxon is technically a brand trademark, although the word is used generically to describe any sort of loud wailing noise which attracts attention, and the Klaxon company still makes alert mechanisms, horns, and safety equipment. The classic “ahooga” emitted by a Klaxon is familiar to viewers of submarine movies and fans of early twentieth century cars, both of which installed Klaxons to serve as part of their emergency systems.

I'm going to wander off into the distance now and ponder my sad, pathetic existence :D
