Thread Name: BS: couplets : a parlor game
Subject: RE: BS: couplets : a parlor game
I once devised a similar game, or quiz. The questions consisted of quotes from songs:
1. Who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot? Who's gonna glove your hand?
2. Granny, does your dog bite?
3. Work your fingers to the bone, what do you get?
The answers also must be quotes from the same songs:
1. Papa's gonna shoe my pretty little foot. Mama's gonna glove my hand. (Actually, I think several answers are possible, depending on which version you quote.)
2. No, child, no.
3. Bony fingers!
Trouble is, I could only find about a dozen or so questions. I think I've lost my original list.
