Cool!

Right, this is easy, but I can't think too much at the moment (scorching in this un-air-con-equipped office!)

A man is sitting in a room that has an all-southern view. A bear walks past the window, what colour is it, and why?

i'd guess that the room is at the north pole so the bear must be polar and therefore white.

Mr Big Penis man, that is indeed correct! Take it away...!

okay, apologies if this has been asked before:

many years ago when william atkinson started a new job he was fired after just four hours for being sloshed. atkinson was the country's first what?

Hmmm. I'll go for the obvious: Beer taster?

Anything to do with licking the backs of stamps?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 11:59 am

no and no. his job did not require him to drink (or eat poison), he just kinda went off the rails.

First train driver?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 12:02 pm

no. but it would have been a good clue if it was intentional and you had been right.

Damn you and your fake clues! Postman?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 12:08 pm

not a postman either but he was a public servant of some sort. (if you want an abstruse clue you are looking at one.)

Was he a politician?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:09 pm

not a politician either (i just found that i did ask this Q before in a very old phœnix). giving any other clues would not be politically correct.

Piss artist?
Chief of police?

I've no idea on this one...

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:27 pm

i'll give it to you Matt, atkinson was the first policeman hence the dodgy pc clues. all yours sir.
