Jason Bay will soon be an American citizen. He aced his U.S. Citizenship exam, and as soon as he learns the secret American handshake and receives his key to the workout room, it will be a done deal.

Matt Snyder already posted a few (easy) citizenship exam questions. Plenty more are divulged in Saturday's Dugout, after the jump.

The Dugout

**OnlineHost** Welcome to Citizenship Test Chat!

TheBayBoy: why do i have to take a test?

can't i just be like, "here is all the money i have, please take a cut of it and use it to build prisons, now give me a flag and open the freaking gate"

**OnlineHost** Sorry. It doesn't work like that.

**OnlineHost** There are two ways to become a citizen. Either you can fall out of an American womb like a gumball in some sort of arbitrary gumball machine, or you can take a test that demonstrates your knowledge of who did or did not invent the cotton gin.

TheBayBoy: eli whitney

**OnlineHost** Congratulations! You have just answered the first 16 answers correctly.

TheBayBoy: this is stupid

**OnlineHost** Come on, be a sport! We have to be certain that you will be an upstanding American citizen, just like Pat Sajak and the baby who was born in Cedar Rapids ten minutes ago.
