Now do it backwards and do NOT mean turn around and type it. I mean from Z to A and in the same manner as before....altho, I can see you trying to do it the 'other backwards' way.

Ah ! that's why I said it was useful that I do a lot of crosswords. You often get that sort of clue! So, for once, I got it straight away >g< . In message , AliceW writes

I thought of you, Patti, when I saw Amy being such a good sport. Do you remember the joke about the piñata and the bungee jumper? Polly (I don't exactly remember the joke but do recall that Pat had no idea what those were.)

"Patti" Ah ! that's why I said it was useful that I do a lot of crosswords.

Here is the Bungee/Pinata joke Polly told us in May 2005!

'The weather is quiet here tonight after 4 inches of rain, hail, flooding and the usual spring stuff. When all is calm, the weatherman sends us a joke. Here you go -

Alice and Frank are Bungee jumping one day. Alice says to Frank, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own Bungee-jumping service in Mexico". Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they'll need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc. They travel to Progresso, Mexico and begin to set up on the square at the end of the bridge. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them at work. When they finish, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration. So, Alice jumps. She bounces at the end of the cord, but when she comes back up, Frank notices that she has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Frank isn't able to catch her and she falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time she is bruised and bleeding. Again, Frank misses her. Alice falls again and bounces back up. This time she comes back pretty messed up - she's got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious. Luckily, Frank finally catches her this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too long?" Barely able to speak . . . . Alice gasps, "No. The Bungee cord was fine ... It was the crowd. What in the hell is a piñata? ???'

I don't get it backwards! Tell me, tell me. Barbara in FL

I was still in the "Polly Mode" of thinking with her question about not having a "1" and thought that was Miz Star's way of an answer.........

Butterfly (Blame it on not enuf sleep for a week. never even thought it was a joke until I saw the answer.)

I'd forgotten that one! LOL!

No + "L"

= Noel

Or Merry Christmas in French

I thought she was showing Miz Polly how to type without the L or # l

Hadn't realized she was talking about Christmas jokes

Butterfly (I still need more sleep)

Is there a prize? >g< . In message , FiederEls in NL writes

As I seem to spend half my life wandering around looking for things I put down 'somewhere', don't think I would be much help. I can even lose things when I am sitting down and haven't moved from my chair! Perhaps the scissors are down the side of my chair .... No - not there, sorry!
