The answer to yesterday's "fun with words" quiz is below. But I'm inserting some trivia "buffer" first so the quiz answers are not immediately at the top of this posting. You can still try to work out the quiz before looking for the answers.
I recently went on a cruise and on the journey's last night, during the showtime finale, the cruise director claimed a number of passengers had asked him the questions below. A quick check on the Internet showed that such lists (with variations) were a typical routine on many cruises. So here they are:
1) Does our ship's crew sleep on board?
2) Is the resort island we've just arrived at completely surrounded by water?
3) How does the captain know where to go?
4) When the captain is sleeping, who is steering the ship?
5) Does the ship generate its own electricity?
6) What time is the midnight buffet?
7) What do they do with the ice sculptures after it melts?
8) How many fjords to the dollar?
9) What time is the two o'clock tour?
10) How do we know which of the displayed photographs (taken by the ship's photographers) are ours?
11) I am married, but can I still come to the singles party?
12) Do I put my luggage out before or after I go to sleep?
13) Is an outside cabin outside of the ship?
14) Does the ship have cable TV?
Okay, go ahead, groan. Now for the answers to the quiz:
1. Stop, look, and listen
2. Win, place, and show
3. First, second, and third
4. Beg, borrow, and steal
5. Tall, dark, and handsome
6. Small, medium, and large
7. Snap, crackle, and pop
8. Blood, sweat, and tears
9. Shake, rattle, and roll
10. Knife, fork, and spoon
11. Ear, nose, and throat
12. Wine, women, and song
13. Game, set, and match
14. Red, white, and blue
15. Chap Gor Mei
