Triple Points for anyone not present – and an equitable consolation prize!

quiz time.jpg
Only four sets of feet open this quiz…it was not a twelve pillow night, although there were more than a few direct hits!
The Innocent One displayed her growth by leaps and bounds. The (nearly always) Late One had his first shock when he saw that the jar was empty: no driving until that sucker was caught! (Not to be confused with the fictional movie, Man in a Car, although a conflation of Man&Snake in a Car might make decent competition with Snakes on a Plane.)
Warning: tea sharing customs vary, bhel.jpgas does etiquette for surprise birthday parties. Age protects one not from the practical joke, but it sure helps the food preparation!

“Everything vibrates at really low frequencies.” Huh?

Personal favorite: “Someone called the lab and asked for my partner and I said he wasn’t here. ‘There’s another guy,’ he said, ‘but I can’t pronounce his name.‘” (Me either.)

“Let’s not talk about ‘we’ at this point.”
