More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

The scales have fallen from my eyes.  I now see a five-letter word.  The letters did it for me. With my accent, I might have been stretching it to recognise a homophone. 

How are you going with Binkie's puzzle?

Hi Jack

A fleeting visit as it's a very busy Monday morning (what's new?).  I'm now trying to imagine in my head what arrow sounds like with an Aussie accent 

I've been back to Binkie's puzzle a few times but still can't make head nor tail of it   Think you might have to enlighten me please!

Hi Pen,

An even fleetinger visit. 

I have four tasks for you:

• Say Figaro,  fig arrow, and  fig a row  as king Charles III would say it.
  
• Say Figaro,  fig arrow, and  fig a row  as Crocodile Dundee would say it.
  
• As you are an expert in counting, tell me how many "e"s are in Binkie's Paragraph
  
• Report Back

Hi Again Jack

Reporting back as instructed 

Firstly I'm now singing the same line from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody over and over again in my head    & then I followed your instructions and I'm now imitating Crocodile Dundee in my head Great combination!

There aren't any "e"s in Binkie's paragraph.  I'd never make a Police witness or a detective come to that.  Definitely a divvy  Grrr


On that note I shall resume my professional receptionist duties

Hi Pen,

Don’t beat yourself up for not seeing what was unusual about Binkie’s Paragraph.   I couldn’t either until I read another post in that thread.

Sometimes I think I have a quirky sense of humour.  You be the judge.

This series of cartoons are not very funny but somehow, they strike a chord with me.

        

These also tickle me.

     

And I’ll leave you with this.

[auntiemo]

Yep...definitely quirky! No doubt about it. Thanks for the Tuesday afternoon chuckles

Hi Jack

Nowt wrong with a quirky sense of humour.  I must be a bit quirky too as your post tickled the hell out of me   

My simple rebus today is a film from the 1960's. It was inspired by your post

A
Picture one you're not interested in who they are but where.  Please use three consecutive letters.  Please lose the first three letters of the bird in picture two and then change the first letter of what you have left.  Surname of gent in picture four and please pretend it's all on one line.

        

Alex had a terrible day fishing on Furzton lake, sitting in the blazing sun all day without catching a single one.  On his way home, he stopped at the fishmonger and ordered four rainbow trout.  He told the fishmonger, 'Pick four large ones out and throw them at me, will you please?'
'Why do you want me to throw them at you?'  Asked the fishmonger?'
So that I am able to tell my wife, in all honesty, that I caught them', said Alex.
'Okay, but I suggest that you take the salmon.'
'Why's that?' asked Alex.
'Because your wife came in earlier today and said that if you came by, I should tell you to take salmon.  That's
what she'd like for supper tonight', replied the fishmonger with a grin.

I may have used this before but it still tickles me

Hi Pen,

I liked your rebus even though I had to use google to identify the bird.  I kicked myself when I found out because the damn things howl annoyingly near here every night.   Hagar is one of my favourites, as you can guess from my avatar.

     

I should have used this one as a rebus



Must try to get some beauty sleep.

Hi Jack

I'm a bit knacked and very glad it's Thursday tomorrow!

I knew you were a Hagar fan - it's why I picked it   I'm really loving those new cartoons - made me laugh out loud.  Especially the crafty dog   Did you twig on that it was your spaghetti cartoon that inspired my rebus?

Off to search for a few words then conk out in front of the box 

See you tomorrow

Hi Pen,

I am a bit slow, I didn’t twig.

     

Blue and I were having a quiet beer in the Redland Bay Hotel arguing about whether the Broncos were a superior team to the Raiders, and I was losing, so I decided to change the subject to something he wasn’t so expert in.

I asked him was giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts as women always maintain.  After all, how would they know because they couldn’t get kicked in the nuts.  On the other hand, we had never experienced giving birth.

After another couple of beers, and some heavy deductive thinking, Blue claimed the answer was getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is his reason for his conclusion.

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "it might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I couldn’t think of an answer to that, and so I got the next round.

I must go and exercise in the pool.

hi Gareth,

Good one.   If I were younger I would be looking forward to 2040.

Hi Jack

We've had bucketing rain and it's a bit parky here today.  I've done a few chores and some shopping and here I am!  I'm afraid my M&S knickers don't bear any resemblance to what I'm meant to be wearing according to Gareth's picture   

My offering today is a film from the 1970's.  There's a possibility I may have done it before but, as usual, I'm hoping it'll look different.

#3 #4 4 #3 #7 #4



Please use past tense for the first two pictures.  Please use three consecutive letters from picture three and lump pictures four and five together.  Please change the first letter of the surname of the gent in picture six and position is vitally important. Oh and please lob an apostrophe in!  Sorry I forgot to day just one homophone.

     

Bill and Maria decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten-year-old son in the flat was to send him out on the balcony and tell him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.
The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "A traffic warden is putting a parking ticket on a car in the street" he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed.
"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's out riding his new bike, and the Coopers are having sex."
Mum and Dad shot up in bed. "How on earth do you know that?" the startled father asked.
"Their son's standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

"A cement mixer collided with a prison van. Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals."

"The best time to add insult to injury is when you’re signing somebody’s plaster cast."

“Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels.”

Leave you with a few silly jokes

I'll be AWOL until Sunday.  I'm off to Essex tomorrow to visit my sister - home on Saturday.

Very funny Gareth

Hi Pen,

Some Photos to amuse you when you get back.

"Are you talking to me? Let me get a little closer so I can hear you".

Bonnie was very interested in whatever her dog walker was on about😁
