Hi Pen,
Smee again with snow inspiration.
There are very few towns in Australia where the streets are numbered rather than named. We have more imagination than some, but Blue once had a bus driver job in one of those unimaginative towns.
One day a woman got on his bus. Without saying a word, she gestured to Blue by sticking her thumb on her nose and waving her fingers at him.
Blue acknowledges the woman, turned to her and used both hands in the same type of gesture and waves all his fingers at her.
The woman held her right arm out at Blue and chops at it a few times with her left hand.
Then Blue put his left hand on his right bicep and jerks his right arm up in a fist at her.
The woman then cups both of her hands under her breasts and lifts gently. So Blue places both of his hands at his crotch and gently lifts.
Then the woman frowns, runs a finger up between her bum, and got off the bus.
A woman sitting in the front row of the bus who witnessed the whole exchange, said, “
That was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen on a public bus! What the hell were you doing?”
“
Listen, love,” said Blue gruffly, “
that woman was profoundly deaf. She asked me if the bus went to 5th Street. I said no, we go to 10th Street. She asked if we make many stops. I told her that this was the express. She asked if we go by the dairy, and I told her we go by the ballpark. She said “Shit, I’m on the wrong bus!” and got off.”
When I was working on yesterday’s puzzle, I came upon a biography about an amazing woman and I was so interested in the blurb, I bought the Audiobook. So, today’s puzzle is the name of the book 1 5 2 2 10(2 4 4)
Hint and warning: There is a book by the same name by Oscar Wilde. That is not the one you want for the bonus questions.
of Bonus Questions:
What did the heroine call her prosthetic leg?
What was the nickname the Germans gave her?
Who did she marry in 1957? What was their previous relationship?
Well, Pen, I’ve got egg on my face. I quickly dismissed the
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society based on a quickly read and not very well understood synopsis. Moyra’s recommendation made me reconsider and I watched the movie this afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed it and if the book is as good as the movie, I would unreservedly recommend it.
