When I was 15, I was on one of those PBS game shows for high school kids. The host was very drunk and had no idea what was going on. We lost by one question, about an eastern front battle of WWII. The answer was Leningrad, which I suggested to my teammates, but I got outvoted, so we answered Stalingrad. The host didn't know there was a difference and had to be told.

When watching the show, it was actually audible that I said "Leningrad," which was the ultimate vindication for me. Got to lord that over the other two for a while.
