Does anyone else remember 321?
Ted Rogers hosts a show where lame variety acts leave clues that could relate to a number of prizes or the dreaded booby prize- Dusty Bin. And the gormless contestants had to decipher the clues that on the most part were so cryptic that not even Poirot could solve them
Example: You chose to get rid of the black bag. Let’s remind ourselves of the clue
“When ya use this item for trash collection
For sure men will come for possession.”
OK, so an item for trash collection. What could that be? The bin perhaps? And men come for possession. Could that be bin men? But what other things can men come to possess? or re-possess? A car? A house? But what about the trash from the first line? If we take the YA and place it in the middle of Trash, we get Tray Ash or Ash Tray. But what has an ash tray? And look at the second line ‘For’ and ‘Will’ or should that be ‘Four’ and ‘Wheel’. Yes, you’ve got rid of the car!
Eh ???????????
