    I normally ask stupid questions when I do know them, but I actually don't know this one. I was trying to go to the outer limits here.

    Somehow I always get the feeling you know them. :)

    Yes, that's it. Good job.

    I have to go into a meeting for a while, but I might post another one soon. I just have to figure out if I have time, because as of 5:00 Pacific time I am off the board for a few days. :)

    Not always, just a few. There will be a few I do know, just because I went through looking for some to post and looked though about 15 of them. Some of them made me curious and I had to look.

    Wow, I never would have got that one right. I was looking in all directions except that one.

    I didn't think of it right away either, but once Unky asked if there was a game involved I figured it was just a matter of time. Anyway, onto my meeting.

    Yes, I was in my own little world on that one and didn't think about it much.

    I hear you. After some of these, I think some of the strangest things instead of the most simple.

    I've gotten caught up in a project at work that needs immediate attention. I'll post another one on Monday. Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

    I didn't get the baseball one even after it was answered because I don't know the first thing about baseball lol.

    Really enjoyed yours Morgaine, you did a great job, was good fun.

    Think I'm addicted now.

    Have a good weekend all.

    Okey dokey. I had to miss that one - long work day. But since J-Lo's going to be off somewhere for a couple of days, and I have tomorrow off, I'll do another. We wouldn't want QLP to go into withdrawal or anything. :eek:

    This is one the main "classics" (Adam probably already found it and peaked), but a shorter one, I think.

    A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at him. The man says, "Thank you," and walks out.

    I just read over the baseball one. I'm sure I could have thought of a baseball mask eventually, but I believe I totally confused the original question - like I was thinking the man in the mask was waiting in his home, and therefore he didn't want to go there cause the mask guy would be there. (Rather than mask man is here and he needs to stay here and play.)

    Not like I really watch this kind of stuff, but maybe too much Halloween on the brain or something.

    Doh! I already know this one :(

    Is the name of the drink important?

    Is what kind of gun it is important?
