The Ask Bookie a Question thread - Anything you like, form an orderly queue please

[HSBCrusher]

If it takes an elephant a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples in a barrel of grapes?

[barracad]

Question Two: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if he really could be bothered?

 

Plenty.

[calm1]

No, Bookworm was, and remains "un right" - i.e. wrong - see individuals.......... - you can't have it both ways.........

[demon_x_slash]

No, dear, I'm afraid you're wrong, obviously addled - I'll call Nurse Gumby, it's time for your brain pills...

[Nurse Gumby]

Yes?

[demon_x_slash]

Your alter ego needs his brain pills; he's getting his English hopelessly mixed again

[Yoda]

LOL But in this case, Bookie's right

 

Question Two: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if he really could be bothered?

OK, similar lines here but how much oil would a gumboil boil if a gumboil could boil oil? I've always wondered

[barracad]

2.3 litres per hour

[demon_x_slash]

Or rather, 6.5 ketaliters per fabu-second.

[calm1]

If on the subject of an "individual" s' wealth - Bookie is once again, wrong.....

[demon_x_slash]

Oh, FFS - please explain your crazy theory so that I can shoot you down in flames. Hurry up, I have to go out in an hour and three quarters...

Should one floss before or after brushing one's teeth?

Before making a proposal of marriage, is it still considered correct ettiquette to request the permission of the father of ones intended bride before actually getting down on one knee (Despite the fact that you have probably been bonking said lady for several years before reaching this stage in your relationship)

After.

Yes. And it's spelt etiquette. ;-) Remember that officially, the father of the bride-to-be is convinced that his little girl has never done anything as gross as letting a man sully her body. Besides, it will convince him that you are maybe not such a nitwit and nowhere good enough for her if you care enough to ask permission. And let's face it, the guy is going to be your father-in-law for many years, you might as well try to keep on his good side if you can.

[Guest ArthurP]

Why do the TV schedules describe Lenny Henry as a comedian?:-?

[Bookworm]

Well, they do describe BB as exciting and soaps as gritty realism, it should be obvious by now that their grip on reality is somewhat tenuous.

[demon_x_slash]

O wise Auntie Bookie, I have come from far flung lands to ask of you this one important question:

 

Why is it that they put corned beef in little tins with keys that always break off and leave you with inaccessible meat? I mean, is it some sort of joke? Do they have little cameras embedded in the tin so that they can have a good laugh over your frustration and hunger? Huh?

[Mr lex]

And Bookie, I hope your OK, given the weather. Should we send a boat ???

[barracad]

Why is it that they put corned beef in little tins with keys that always break off and leave you with inaccessible meat?

 

The keys come off easily so you can use them to get a supermarket trolley without putting a pound coin in ;-)

[Woolleykat]

Well I made mine do it just for the hell of it and I still won't marry him. Tho dad did tell how much of a miserable b****** I was and did he know what he was taking on.

 

Fraggle rock by the way was brilliant last night on Boomerang, loved it when kids were young.

[demon_x_slash]

Eh?

[Woolleykat]

You know Fraggle rock - Strange puppets living down a hole with the all singing all dancing compost heap. Eventually had Fultan McKay ( Mr McKay in Porridge) as the lighthouse keeper. Had shaggy dog and a strange character called Boomer.

[demon_x_slash]

Yeah, I know Fraggle Rock - just wondering what 'it' is that you made 'him' do...

[Woolleykat]

Wash your mouth out with soap. Get down on one knee of course!! What else?
