TRUTH !!
toto received $100 a week (not bad for a dog) a hefty sum compared to the
$50 a week the munchkins were paid.
but it was less than judy garland's take-home pay of $500 per week. judy
made far less than any of the other principle players. ray bolger, who
played the scarecrow, made ten times judy's salary.

I only got 1,4 & 8 . Cant beleive I missed #2 could have swore it was the lion :unsure: . I got truth right cuz it was a triva question on our local news channel just the other day . :clap: .
 
I'm right on par for what I normally get which is 2 :(

I got the tiger and salt.
 
I got four of them, #1, #2, #5 and #6.

#3 - I knew the song but couldn't remember the title of it.

#4 - Never seen the show, before my time in the States, but my wife talks about it so I should have got it.

Truth or Crap - Didn't know the answer but it was silly enough to be right so I guessed correctly.

Not too bad but I could have done better with a little more thought. :flowers:
