$16K: Never heard of Babel Fish. Even with 50:50, I'm walking away with $8K.

What a terrible stack for me.

I wonder if that is a good hook or if it's only good for people they like for the usual reasons. I tried a variation on my latest audition.

Which hook? The high school reunion or giving half the winnings to charity?
