I'm sure that will do. I thought it was Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day - some have said Easter days and someone lundi, mardi and mercredi. The one that took me the longest was the paragraph with no 'e's.

I only know the answer to the first question about murderer.
He should pick the room with assassins. I would. I don't want to be eaten by hungry tigers. I don't want to be in a fire. I think assassins are the best choice.
I don't know about the woman who killed her husband. May be it was in a play (may be they are actors). Other than that I don't know how to answer.
They are actors in a play or something.
I have absolutely no ideas for the rest of questions.
Your questions are very difficult.

Perhaps they lose something in the translation?  |

I thought at first that if he went for the assassins he'd be with his mates....... How wrong I was. Tommo |

Surely assassins only kill targets that they are paid to kill...
Unless we're talking about hallucinogenic drugs and houris again.

There's at least one blonde in heaven.
A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates. 'I'm sorry,' St Peter said; 'But Heaven is suffering from an overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals.' 'That's cool' said the blonde, 'What does the Entrance Exam consist of?' 'Just three questions' said St Peter. 'Which are?' asked the blonde. 'The first,' said St Peter, 'is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T' '?The second is 'How many seconds are there in a year?'The third is 'What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?' 'Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.' So the blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same). The following morning, St Peter called upon the blonde and asked if she had considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.' 'Well then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter T?' The blonde said, 'Today and Tomorrow.' St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question. 'Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?'
St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?' The Blonde replied, 'Twelve!' 'Only twelve?' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure?' 'Easy,' said the blonde, 'there's the second of January, the second of February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds.' St Peter looked at the blonde and said, 'I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision.' And he walked away shaking his head. A short time later, St Peter returned to the Blonde. 'I'll allow the answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?' The blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer.' 'Really!' exclaimed St Peter, 'And what is the answer?' 'It's Andy.' 'Andy??' 'Yes, Andy,' said the blonde. This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer, and turning to the blonde, asked 'How in Heaven's name did you arrive at THAT answer?' 'Easy' said the blonde, 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited til his billy boiled.' And yea, the blonde entered Heaven...

'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited til his billy boiled.' And yea, the blonde entered Heaven...
"And he sang as he watched", usually...  For what it's worth, Matilda's the name of the swag, not of the swagman. If the swagman had a name it was probably Samuel "Frenchy" Hoffmeister. No, really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltzing_MatildaEr, sorry. You may now resume normal programming. |

Well thank you for clearing that up. I do try to spread a little enlightenment wherever I go. (Since I tend to fail dismally I thought it worth pointing out...) |
