Actually I did a lot of them the hard way, but chickened out at work of posting them.
And what the hell is "quatro cincho" or whatever that was?

In reply to:

WHAT DO YOU CALL FOUR BULLFIGHTERS IN QUICKSAND?Quatro sinko.


OK, wwh. You asked for it:

Four bullfighters sink in the quicksand. How many of these Spanish-speaking (perhaps) sank in the sand? Four. Or, in the little Spanish I recognize, quatro. And what did these bullfighters do in the sand? They sank. Or, to anglo-Spanishify it: sinko. Quatro sinko. There you go!

Love from Wordwind who is usually the last to get jokes others immediately get!

Quatro sinko.


Multi-lingual pun. Four Spanish-speakers in quicksand --> four sinkers --> cuatro cinco = part of the sequence uno-dos-tres-cuatro-cinco = 1-2-3-4-5.

Ya hadda be there...

Edit: OK, so you beat me by five seconds!

I figured the "sinko" had to be allusion to real Latino lingo.

Reminds me of the story about the pygmy cattle in New Zealand, which tend to congregate along the fault lines. One of the visitors who was there during a 7.2 magnitude quake noticed that all of the cows in the herd fell down during the quake while the bulls remained standing. She asked the farmer why. "Simple", he replied, "wee bulls wobble but they don't fall down."

Is there anywhere else on Earth where one can get milk from Bulls?

Sadly I think TEd's already milked these particular bulls for all they're worth.

Dear fishonabike: but as in ancient joke about city girl learning to milk,
and starting with a bull, there's only a small amount of fluid in the pail.

Joni Mitchell sang "I could drink a case of you". She must have mastered the method.

This made me laugh out loud--something I heard on TV last night. I was channel surfing, and found something called Sports collisions and bloopers, or something like that. There was a horse race, and one of the entrants was Hoof Hearted. Now, I pronounce the word hoof with the same u sound as in the word pull. But the race announcer says it the other way: with the oo sound in the word tooth. Well, this horse won the race, and the announer calls, "And it's Hoof Hearted in the winner's circle"...

I didn't laugh. I didn't get it. And then I said it out loud and heard myself say, "And it's Who Farted in the Winnter's Circle."

Is that what made you laugh, Jackie?

Have to ask because sometimes I miss things. Often I miss things.
