Subject: for your amusement...
Okay, this is gonna take about 7-8 posts, so just read on and be patient....
Think of a number from 2 to 9.... Don't post it! Just think of it... Okay, got one?
Next:
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Now, take the number you just thought of and multiply it by nine....
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
You should now have a two digit number....
Now, take the two digits and add them together, which should now give you a one digit number...
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Okay? Now, take your one digit number and subtract five..., leaving you with yet another one digit number...
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Take that final number and match it with the corresponding letter of the alphabet, ie:
1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, 5 =E etc. etc.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Okay, got your letter?
Now, think of a country that begins with that letter.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Got your country?
Okay, now take the last letter of that country and think of an animal that begins with that letter.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Got the animal? (We are almost done now)
Take the last letter of the animal, and think of a fruit that begins with that letter.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Okay, so now you should have a country, an animal and a fruit... Ready?
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Unless you are one of the odd 5 percent, you should have.....
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
A kangaroo
In Denmark
eating an orange! ;D ;D
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Nope! A cat in the Dominican Republic eating a tangerine.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
And there folks, is one of the odd five percent! ;D (don't feel bad, I had a koala in Denmark eating an apple -- but most of the people I tried it on ran true to form!)

Yup, that was exactly what I had! ;D
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
How about an iguana in Djibouti eating an apricot?
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
That's what I had, CD. I must either be 5%, or odd.

hippo in Thailand eating a peach...............just kidding
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
I had something similar to that in one of my customer service classes. Everyone's answer was "An elephant in Denmark eating an orange" except for the person who thought Delaware was a country. ;D
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
I got it - I am a 95%er :)
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
That's the one I always pull on people. If they do not specify this, I just go ahead and choose root two, or a number like that. No integer specified. I doubt the kids who pulled this one on me even know today what an integer is :o
Quoting:
If you choose a whole, positive, integer

If you choose a whole, positive, integer you will always have 9 as the one-digit number. I chose e and pi as my "numbers between 2 and 9" and both failed... In the case of "e," I got 1.464536456... and there's not corresponding letter for that :P

Not me! I am only re-quoting him from an earlier comment... ::)
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
It did sound like you were going to stuff Bobo in a trunk, like "The Sopranos". ;D

I am sure glad somebody always quotes him, or else I'd never see half the stuff before he deletes it... it must be that dreaded Adelie he fears.... ::)
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
So we stuff TB in the trunk. He was almost Adelie but has fallen back to Little-Blue!
I'm sure lang wouldn't mind…
But I miss Mystery Woman and Banasy! I heard Banasy was too busy at the library…
But don't forget about the iguana in Djibouti eating an apricot…
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
We are missing three of our best ladies! Banasy should be back soon, according to Mark. Lang I was in touch with and she is really busy right now. Anyone hear from M.W.? :(
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
I don't mean to break up your reminiscing about missing members of the "zone" but
I tried your game and I was too busy mentally juggling numbers to think of a "o" fruit name.
Must be the college education...lost all mundane food names to be replaced by other more mundane tidbits!
And here i am---laughing in a public computer room at school over the "threats" to stuff this person in a trunk and get away with it.
I tell you, I have to surf the games pages past 10 more often: The threads which aren't locked out are still going strong, And as Bugs Bunny would say to Gossamer>"...you meet such in--teresting people" (and that's a compliment)
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Someone revised this thread after a year and a half. And I thought that was verboten here. Or maybe I was thinking about that infernal "You Can't Do That on Television" thread that has all those mean people on it.
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Yeah, that was really sad... aren't all those people virtually dead now...? :'(
Subject: Re: for your amusement...
Well, at least MW is. She's MIA. Trips Mom makes occasional visits here, and the others went over to other messageboards.:(
As for the YCDTOTV posters, they can all get slimed for all I care.
