Question of the Week

[MOBLEYC57]

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth,

he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.



Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,

how should he express himself? :think:




Stay tuned for the answer (9 April 05), so you can rate your

IQ. I know there's going to be cheaters, 'cause not everyone got out of the first grade without cheating! :rant:

But, do not :nono: use the internet search engines to find the answer ... use yer brain. :frustrate

In every riddle, and that

And don't call me a cheater or you are going to get it

And don't call me a cheater or you are

going to get it :whip:Nope, was just asking. :drunk: And be careful, I could be in need of it:whip:



Then how about ...

Jack rode across the bridge, but yet he walked? :drunk:

[Gerund]

Hmm... is the blind man also mute?

<grin>

Proper nouns are

capitalized. Throw me another bone.

Cuturalblonde is ... a smart Culturalblonde! :rasp:

Guess this riddle stuff is only new to me! :rant:



What.............................................. ....ever! :rasp:

Hey Gerund! When you get out? :thumbsup:

What's been up wit'cha!? :blink:

[Gerund]

Yep, was recently paroled. They

said they were over quota on left-handed, albino eskimo pipe-welders.

[DumLuc]

Mobes, I think this must be a

trick question. The sun wouldn't get into a blind mans eyes. But if he wanted a pair anyway, maybe he'd have his

seeing eye dog point to them.

[mr.]

Blind people often wear sunglasses

to hide their non-shifting eyes.
Honestly, it's even part of the stereotype.

I have no idea what the

answer is. I've never been good at these.

[MOBLEYC57]

Oh, now, all of a sudden,

everyone's trying to make me feel good by acting like ya don't know the answer, too!

I'm not the only one!?

:think:

Thanks! :box: :lol: :box:

[Holmes]

What's his native language?

[DumLuc]

Wait a minute, I just realized

all blind guys don't have seeing eye dogs;but they all have the white cane, so I he'd use the white cane to tap

out a Morse Code message to the shop keeper.

[Gerund]

This thread's getting scarier by

the minute.

[MOBLEYC57]

This thread's

getting scarier by the minute.
Either that, or someone's reeeeeeally trying to make me feel better for

not knowing the answer! :think:

I guess I will post the answer domani, just in case they're not putting me on.

:sick:

[Holmes]

His pet parrot

would do the talking.

[Pancho1188]

I don't get it. He could try

asking the guy...or he could just act like he was putting them on. I don't think the latter is wrong, but

that's what the trick question is trying to get you to say when blind people can just ask for the sunglasses.



It's like the, "Say milk five times fast. Milk, milk, milk, milk, milk. What do cows drink?"

Again, it's

another trick question that is actually true. Ironically, the fact that people drink milk should be the shocking

thing...seeing as milk is made for calves. It's verbal slight of hand. You focus on one thing while you miss the

painfully obvious.

How about:

How many of each animal did Moses take with him on the arc?
If a rooster lays

an egg on a roof, which side will it roll down?
An international flight crashes on the US-Canadian border with

passengers from both countries. Where do you bury the survivors?
A man has 6 women, and I take two. How many do I

have?

I'll give you the simplest version of this. Tell me what color font the following words are written in.

Say them out loud as soon as you see the words:

Green



Blue

Orange



Yellow

What did you say? Did you say, "Green,

Blue, Orange, Yellow"? Did you say, "Green" and then smack yourself in the forehead? Did you say, "Gre--Blue?"

Did you take your time and say, "Blue, Red, Purple, Green"?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

By the

way, there's only one word in the English language that ends in "mt". Without cheating, what word is it?

[Pancho1188]

His pet parrot

would do the talking.
Polly want some sunglasses!
Polly want some sunglasses!

[DumLuc]

The parrot belongs to the

one-eyed guy with the hook, but I guess he could borrow him for a little shopping spree, if he really knew the guy

well.

But I dreamt up another way he could get his sunglasses. Since the mute guy already has a working

relationship going with the shopkeeper, he could just send him to the store for them.

[MOBLEYC57]

Top the the morning ta yous!

Thank God! Tis Friday!


ANSWER: He just opens his mouth and asks for the sunglasses.:run:

[Holmes]

For real?

:D

[MOBLEYC57]

For real?

Such a

classy way to answer my question... :thumbsup: (I say that because that's something I would do, so of course I

think it's classy)

[DumLuc]

Thank-you, Pancho, I thought you

might get a kick out of that.

And now that I know the blind guy can just ask for the sunglasses, I don't have

to worry about teaching him how to order via the internet.
