Some Answers

While showering this morning, I was thinking about the phrase "I WANT SOME ANSWERS, AND I WANT THEM NOW!"

I hear it in the movies all the time, and also from the mouths of people who watch too much television.

It seems like the person saying it is always really irate. I don't see why this has to be. Answers are very easy to come by, and I came up with five (5) this morning alone.

I did not, however, come up with the questions. Nobody said anything about wanting any questions. If you're interested, feel free to provide those yourself.

Some Answers

1. Only on Tuesdays, and never in front of the dog.

2. I understand everything you just said, but I'm a little confused by the part about stapling the fish to the tree. Is that necessary?

3. In the shed, of course, and probably next to the leaking garbage sack.

4. The obvious answer is to steal a Klingon Bird of Prey, crank that sucker up to warp 10, and loop it around the sun.

5. Gelatin. Lots and lots of gelatin. And hamsters. Lots and lots of hamsters.

I'm kind of hoping one of those *wasn't* the answer to "What does Rory want for Christmas?".

For the sake of the hamsters.

PS. Spinal Tap would've cranked that sucker up to warp 11.

(Oh damn, now my mind's gone off on a tangent about how Klingons and Romulans both have spacecraft named after birds, which means that the one-size-fits-all version of evolution in the Star Trek universe has resulted in birds on the Klingon and Romulan homeworlds as well...which leads to the obvious questions "Do they resemble terrestrial birds exactly in all respects apart from having bumpy bits on various parts of their cute little birdy faces? Do Romulan birds have dorky haircuts?")

Technically, item 2 *was* a question...

It was actually an answer *and* a question, which means that item 2 was actually both, and therefore met all the basic requirements (which I'm making up as I go along).

It just happens to have been a little more ambitious than items 1, 3, 4, and 5. Don't fault it for trying a little harder than the rest.

I guess these are the questions to your answers:

1. When do you have sex?
2. What did you think we do with food in Germany (I'm German, I can ask that).
3. Where do you keep all the dead bodies?
4. What whould you do without a computer?
5. What did you always wanted to have but never did?

Hermann -

"I guess these are the questions to your answers:"

Actually, Hermann, those aren't the correct questions. I can prove it by answering yours and demonstrating that the answers are completely different:

"1. When do you have sex?"

Whenever my hand doesn't "have a headache."

"2. What did you think we do with food in Germany (I'm German, I can ask that)."

You stuff it in your lederhosen for the winter where it lies dormant until spring.

"3. Where do you keep all the dead bodies?"

Here... Let me show you...

"4. What whould you do without a computer?"

Count on my fingers, and probably be happy.

"5. What did you always wanted to have but never did?"

A childhood.

Anyway, right or wrong, they were good questions :)

Ahh Rory you forgot the answer to them all.

42.

How could you forget that?

Also don't forget my favorite answer to math problems in High School: Egypt. Long story, ask if you want.

I've always envied people thinking up stuff in the shower. I never do that. I want to be able to say "hey, I came to think of the funniest thing while showering this morning". I must have a boring shower.

Or, come to think of it, it might be that my shower is very interesting, and actually distracts me from thinking those deep in-the-shower-thoughts other people do.
