"what am I?"

[deborah gormley]

Just thought this would tease the mind a bit and maybe get a giggle during the process, clap:


"What will go up a chimney down but won't go down a chimney up?"

Go on, have a guess! it's really quite easy (hehe)

 

[moyashi]

chimmney sweep?

I was gonna say Santa or smoke first though. +)

 

[deborah gormley]

@ smoke
I thought the same, too!...

 

[thomas]

Hehe, Santa was my first guess too.

 

[deborah gormley]

lol good try but not quite right, here's a little clue " it might just depend on the weather" hehe now you should get be able to figure out just what this is,

 

[Olivia]

rain?

 

[moyashi]

heat ?

 

[deborah gormley]

lol now that really made me laugh

"an umbrella" is the answer

It will go up a chimney in the down(closed)form, but can't go down a chimney in the up (open) form, hehe
anyone got another brain teaser?, I'm sure we can have a few giggles

 

[moyashi]

errrrrr ..... but an umbrella uses the verbs (open and closed) ....

heat uses (up and down) .... I say give Dave here a yellow card

Let's get Thomas to pull up a few from his links archieve

 

[thomas]

Hehe, don't expect any intellectual effort from my side. It's autumn, and I'm already in bed with a terrible cold, sniff, sniff.
:atchoo:

 

[deborah gormley]

@ moyashi Ahhhh don't be such a fussy duddy, clap:

This ones for you moyashi, a tongue twister, lol.
"How much wood could a woodcutter cut, if a woodcutter could cut wood" If you can't say it in 000.2 seconds my yellow card gets withdrawn, (hehe)

 

[Olivia]

those are funny, specially when you are drunk....
gera gera!

 

[Olivia]

oh! btw... i'd never guess it was an umbrella!...

 

[moyashi]

hehe, like I said an umberella opens

@ That tongue twister is that bad. I learned the version ...
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if woodchuck could chuck wood.

But I found out recently that there's a second verse. Something along the lines of ...

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, a woodchuck would chuck wood.

Or something like that.

 

[thomas]

Moyashi-sensei, since you know a bit of doitsugo, try this tongue twister and repeat it as fast as possible:

"Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz."

It's a classic...

 

[moyashi]

ughhhhhhhhh, I can't get the glutteral out any more.

Dam that's a tough one.

Japanese go .... (I hope I got it right)

ni wa ni wa ni wa ni wa tori ga imasu.

Something about 2 (birds -- used as a counter) chickens are in some garden ...

 

[Luxpyre]

The second line to the woodchuck one is "a wood chuck would chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood."

 

[Luxpyre]

Here's a really good one. In the guinesses book of world records as the hardest tongue twister...

"The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick"

It's even hard to say slow!

 

[thomas]

I love the sixth sheikh's twister, excellent!

 

[moyashi]

That is a bit of a troublesome one isn't it.

 

[deborah gormley]

Thats a great one, I still cant get past the first two words, lolol
