Steph Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 For Hoody -- in invisible ink below one fifth, two fifth, red fifth, blue fifth which is a play on the title of a famous Dr. Seuss book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Okay, this one really twisted my brains but the solution is far beyond my level of knowledge. Thank you Steph. By the way: invisible ink does not work on the preview "Unread Content" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Ooops ... I'll try to remember that and add more empty spoiler lines next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Okay, no more invisible ink ... still for Hoody ... Do you know Dr. Seuss? He wrote goofy rhyming books easily readable by children but also loved by many adults. Here's the one this picture was about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fish_Two_Fish_Red_Fish_Blue_Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, does not prevent me from reading it but requires more clicks to get it visible - I need to go for the cape to say I am super-lazy. Dr. Seuss should tell me something but it currently does not ring any bell. I am sure I read this name somewhere sometime ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Well, then maybe this is a "learn something new" moment ... he's a big part of American culture. The Cat in the Hat Green Eggs and Ham Horton Hears a Who ... oh and a very big biggie is: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Do you know of the Grinch?

Horton Hears a Who (Horton hört ein Hu) as well as How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Der Grinch) I know from the movies. Maybe I read Dr. Seuss' name in the end titles there. I think I will try to get the "fish" book - english version, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 It's just part of our background from being little kids in America. Hence the "wait for ittttt" element to the joke. Takes a minute, but then the sounds float into place and we get a chuckle. And obviously you know more about my culture than I know about yours, so Dr. Seuss is someone to add to the roster of people you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoody Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 As *you* like it, of course. PS: Book is already ordered at Amazon - nice they sell books across the world.

Hoody Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Two old friends are sitting there, drinking a beer. One tells: "I have a severe problem with slugs in the garden. They eat away all my vegetables." The other says: "You already tried out a beer trap?" - "Are you nuts? Shall I now give them my beer also?" - "No, no. Okay. How about collecting the slugs and put them elsewhere?" (We love even slugs and do not want to kill them ...) - "Okay, good idea. I'll try it tomorrow." The two make an appointment for the next evening and went home. The next evening they meet again. The slug chaser was really and obviously exhausted. - "Wow. You look as if you picked tons of slugs. How many did you get?" - "Not just even one in the whole day! Every time I got aware of one I immediately stooped but the beast flitted away before I could grasp it."

Steph Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 We need a new joke to lighten the mood since I stepped on Hoody's joke so badly. But I don't have a sense of humor! So someone else needs to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?" The bartender, confused, tells the duck no. The duck thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Got any grapes?" Again, the bartender tells him, "No -- the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes and, furthermore, will never serve grapes." The duck thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender yells, "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!" The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, "Got any nails?" Confused, the bartender says no. "Good!" says the duck. "Got any grapes?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Ha! Took me half a second. Then I laughed so suddenly I spit on the keyboard. Which would be okay ... except it's a borrowed keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
