This reminds me:

A group of us were playing this game called Wits & Wagers. It's a trivia game where everyone writes down their answer and we all place bets on which answer we think is closest to the truth without going over.

One of the questions yesterday was what year did The Wizard of Oz come out and one person had it in the 1960s, two had it in the 1950s, and 4 had it in the 40s. I was pretty shocked that only me and one other person knew it was from the 30s.

This is not the oldest I've seen but wow, political correctness and censorship have come a long way.
