This is the kind of thing that makes me wanna close up shop and give up on the human race. I've seen Jerry Springer audiences smarter than that. If I was his daughter I'd ask for a moment to express myself, struggling to contain my anger, crying, and laughter at the same time. First I'd ask the audience if any of them have ever been about 3-4 yrs old at any point in their miserable existence? Maybe we'd have to take another audience poll for that answer. But if they have ever been 3 or 4 yrs old, they must've surely learned the answer to this question sometime around that age. Unless at that moment I was really just transferred back a few centuries in time, I might first look around to make sure that is not, in fact, the case.
Otherwise, the only possible explanation is that they're all genetically engineered clones created as adults with a blank slate and only the required knowledge for the most basic human functions infused into their brain. Or maybe they're all just zombies like in "Dawn of the Dead", they have to be. I'd feel surprisingly better if that was really true, I'd much prefer flesh-eating zombies who have an excuse not to know this, than spending an hour trying to shovel my jaw from the ground as I try to work out what is going on. The ground is dirty!
Oh yeah, if I didn't feel so sorry for the poor fella, as his daughter, I'd be tempted to use that shovel to take my dad out of his misery after I get my jaw off the floor with it. Though they do have security at those places, who might actually just think the shovel is a bouquet of roses though, so I might be ok..
