PAINTERS 2/
"toupe"
Is that a color, or something you put on your head?
Friday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step. The locust-trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air. Cardiff Hill, beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land, dreamy, reposeful, and inviting.
Try appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. Thirty yards of board fence nine feet high. Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden. Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of un-whitewashed fence, and sat down on a tree-box discouraged.

Stormy:
On which day of the week did this puzzling prattle occur
Sunday
Wonderfully correct, have an apple and take the rest of the day off.
Thoh:
Confusing puzzle:
Say what?!
Sunday
................................real today: M T W T F S S
day after tomorrow = yesterday: W T F S S M T
.....................................'today': T F S S M T W
..................................real today: M T W T F S S
day before yesterday = tomorrow: S S M T W T F
........................................'today': F S S M T W T
Real Sunday corresponds to 'wednesday' or ' thursday' which are both 3 or 4 days away from Sunday.
First class, you get to share Stormy's apple.
Addition problem:
There are several solutions.
(1)When you designate "." to be an operation defined by a.b = a+b-2/3
Then
2.1 = 2 + 1 - 2/3 = 2 1/3
4.2 = 4 + 2 - 2/3 = 5 1/3
3.0 = 3 + 0 - 2/3 = 2 1/3
3.2 = 3 + 2 - 2/3 = 4 1/3
Sum of above = 14 1/3
13.2 = 13 + 2 - 2/3 = 14 1/3
(2)When you designate "." to be an operation defined by a.b = b(a+10/3)
Then
2.1 = 1(2 + 10/3) = 16/3
4.2 = 2(4 + 10/3) = 44/3
3.0 = 0(3 + 10/3) = 0
3.2 = 2(3 + 10/3) = 38/3
Sum of above = 98/3
13.2 = 2(13 + 10/3) = 98/3
ETC.
Say what! I was more thinking: This is correct when the numbers represent the innings pitched in baseball.
Or, if you ant to get technical:
2.1 Liters + 4.2 Liters + 3.0 Liters + 3.2 Liters = 13.2 Quarts
Using the conversion factor 1 liter = 1.056688 quarts,
12.5 liters = 12.5 * 1.056688 = 13.2086 quarts! Close enough!
2 drachm + 1 scruple
4 drachm + 2 scruples
3 drachm + 0 scruples
3 drachm + 2 scruples
--------------------
13 drachm + 2 scruples
TTH: "Tryagain is out
Just thought you should know "
Lady, I'll have you know; someone has to go out on those mean streets at night to rid them of the vermin that plague us, and make them safe for decent folk. I just wish it weren't haffta be me. I hate my night shift job with the sanitation dept, what with the rats and all!
Ps. I don't drink as much as I used to
..I spill most of it!
"So Tryagain, do you have any objection to a little change in your avatar."
What the heck, knock yourself out!
Try's BIG butt:
This is outrageous, it will not stand. I will have a word with Joe the local barkeep to demand a rebuttal.
"The last person that gave Try credit had to haul his butt into small claims court to receive payment. Unfortunately, after the judgment against him, Try fled the country (with the guy's wife) until the statute of limitations expired. The poor schmuck that gave him credit is still out the $15 (and his wife). I'd think twice before giving Try credit."
That should read; ?'Haul his small butt into the claims court.' If by, ?'I fled' you mean a vacation in Mexico, you are correct. She was just arm candy, and left me soon after the 15 bucks ran out! Just remember; you can lead a horse to water, but not a horticulture? < Read it slowly, and in three syllables. :wink:
It takes TTH 44 seconds to run around the circular track in Try's back yard. It takes Mark, her somewhat overweight friend, 52 seconds to run puffin around the same track.
If they started together, how long would it take TTH with her tight buns to lap poor tired Mark with his fondness for cake
He starts and ends two common English words. One painful in love, one painful in everyday matter.
Do you know what two words he must be
