Description: A pop quiz for people who know, or think they know, Florida: Who’s got a mystery apartment in Cinderella’s Castle? Why was the entire University of Florida football team arrested in Cuba? Which poses the greater risk to your well being in Florida: sharks or toilets? What did the Florida Highway Patrol catch a chimp doing on I-4? What airline charged overweight people by the pound? You Got Me! The answers to these questions and hundreds more are found in this sidesplitting Florida trivia book. Thoroughly researched and cleverly formatted, the book brings uncanny humor to the often mundane world of trivia. Nowhere else can you learn the historical significance of Florida’s first air-traffic law and still crack up laughing upon finding out how the tiny town of Wimauma got its name. It doesn’t hurt that Rob Lloyd is the writer behind TV game show classics such as Family Feud with Richard Dawson, To Tell the Truth, and Burt Reynolds’s Win, Lose or Draw, because this actually reads like a game show rather than a book of facts. Complete with bonus questions, detailed answers, and brain-cramping wit, You Got Me! Florida is the interactive game/book for the new millennium. Tim Lloyd, the author’s brother, got into the act by putting together several outrageous photomontages to highlight the book’s charming and eccentric flavor. From sports to celebrities to jailbirds, and a few uncategorically hilarious "you got me’s" in between, this book is simply great fun for the whole family. It’s perfect for long trips or friendly late-night trivia battles. So, what is the funniest, most informative, and simply best Florida trivia book to appear in a pink and blue cover featuring a woman running on the beach? You Got Me!
