History:  Mom watches the Game Show Network ’round the clock during weekdays.  They have a contest where, if they call you and you answer the pop culture trivia question, you win a prize. 

Jim (picks up phone at work):  This is Jim

Mom:  Can you talk a minute?

Jim:  Sure.  What’s up?

Mom:  In the 70’s, there was a song, “The Hustle” and something about a booty.  Who was that?

Jim:  Who was what?

Mom:  The Hustle and something about a booty.

Jim:  “The Hustle” was Van McCoy but I don’t know what you’re talking about with “the booty”

Mom:  That’s what a black man calls an ass.

Jim:  I KNOW what it IS, I just don’t know any 70’s song related to “The Hustle” that has anything to do with a booty.

Mom:  They said it starts with a “D”.

Jim:  ……..

Mom:  Never mind.
