-------------------------------------
For each A you get 0 pts, for B 1 point and for each C take 2 pts.
Add your scores and take a look at how you do as a Cardinals’ fan:
0 pts - you are a Yankee, go away
1-2 pts - you are a distressingly uninformed citizen of St Louis
3-4 pts - you are a garden variety supporter of the Cardinals
5-6 pts - you are a staunch fan with a photographic memory
7-8 pts - you are the Stan Musial of Cards fans, please, stop by the front office and
pick up your framed diploma and a complimentary Trident Nuclear Submarine
with an onboard foot massage facility, rectractable roof and a free copy of
"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Changing Oil in Nuclear Submarines".
9 pts - now this is really something
--------------------------------
The successful completion of this
test authorizes you to pass judgement on all Cardinals' plays and to make
predictions about the outcome of the World Series by placing a warm
skillet on your belly button and intently watching the ceiling
fan.

simple test for finding out which way is the right one? Alas, there isn't.
