SUNDAY QUIZ NO 4*

 


* The more observant of you will notice that it's not Sunday but I have been busy you know, and have been suffering from severe hip pain. Also, I've been watching the women's world cup football and the Bledisloe Cup. I can't be at your beck and call you know. Sheesh!

Anyway, it's time for another Sunday quiz and, given the tirade who better to conduct it than the grumpiest of all the Curmudgeons - me, The Curmudgeon. No need to thank me.

Right, listen up!

Question 1.

Why do women take longer to get ready to go out than men do?

  • They are just naturally slower.
  • They have no sense of urgency.
  • They do it to annoy the men in their lives.

Question 2. 

Why did they make driving at night so damned hard?
  • The authorities want to keep old people off the roads.
  • Nights have become darker.
  • On-coming headlights are brighter,

Question 3.

Why is parking a car so bloody difficult nowadays?
  • The parking spaces have become smaller.
  • Other people's cars have become bigger.
  • The bloody mirrors don't work as well as they used to.

Question 4.

Why are we expected to tip everywhere we go nowadays?
  • Because we've become richer.
  • Because service workers are so badly paid nowadays.
  • Because it's another stupid fucking Americanism that's invading and violating our lifestyle and egalitarian and democratic society.

Question 5.

Why do modern appliances lose functionality so early?
  • They are made out of crap.
  • They are made by slave labour in under-developed countries.
  • It's cynical and planned obsolescence by greedy brand owners.

The prize for the reader who gets all the answers correct is this educational booklet 'Porn For Women' by Susan Anderson;

THE CURMUDGEON said...

No 'Porn For Women' for you.

Richard (of RBB) said...

But I got all the answers right.

Robert Sees Things in Sky said...

As the morality of the prize is questionable, I will not take part.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Prissy pissant!
There’s no immorality in this booklet. Why don’t you open that closed mind of yours and search for it in google.
Oh, that’s right, you’re a Catholi.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Okay, the prize must go to me.
Remember, you only have two readers.

Richard (of RBB) said...

A Catholi?
TC must be angry!

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes, a Catholi.
That’s a blinkered Catholic. There’s none as blind as those who won’t c.

Richard (of RBB) said...

How can I help you to get more comments?

Richard (of RBB) said...

Is someone having a birthday tomorrow?

Happy birthday old fella.

Have a great day.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Thanks Richard.
Lynn and I went to a great restaurant on Saturday night for my birthday - tomorrow will be low key but will no doubt still involve Champagne and a roast dinner.*

I'm sorry to advise that your quiz submission was unsuccessful. To be honest it was laughable but I guess you know that.
Even if Robert hadn't excused himself from the competition due to prissiness you would not have been in contention. Sorry about that. It's a shame that you won't win the excellent booklet 'Porn For Women' as this could have been beneficial to your social and personal relationships at home or, to use your words from the 1970s "getting the sex". Never mind, eh.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Now that the quiz deadline has passed I can give you the answers.
Thank you for the interest shown which demonstrates the popularity of this series.

Thanks again for the contributions and a special shout out to Richard of Richard's Bass Bag who got so excited he prematurely ejaculated .... sorry, posted his answer to an entirely different post! Thankfully he cleaned up and successfully, albeit incorrectly posted the exact same answer to the, this, correct post. Well done that man.
Robert didn't participate as expected given the implied salaciousness of the competition prize (in the interests of full disclosure The Curmudgeons Inc, admit that this was a deliberate ploy knowing how the sanctimonious religious church-goer would react). The prize - 'Porn For women' is a valuable booklet after all and I haven't cleared it with The Old Girl that I'm allowed to give it away.
