And The Letter is G.....

I was there when the Occupational Therapist did the MOCA on my Dad to get a baseline after his stroke.  If you have never had the privilege of seeing the MOCA in action there is one sub-test where the assessor gives you a time limit and a letter.  The patients role is to think of as many words that start with that letter, in the time frame provided.  The words can not be names and can not be variations of the same word.  The letter they gave my Dad was "F"......

Yup! He lost some valuable time trying not to say "Fuck".  Can't blame him, as that was the first word that popped into my head as well.  I guess we are two peas in a pod.  Incidentally this is a great way to pass hours and hours of driving by yourself.  Take the first or last letter of a word on a sign that you pass and go to town thinking of as many words as you can.  When you can't think of any more words, start again.  On second thought this is a better game to play when you are driving on desolate highways in the middle of winter.... as there is much of Minnesota that I missed when playing the game.

Anyhoo, my challenge for today is a variation of the MOCA... I have to think as many words that start with G as I can.  My time limit a full day.
