To while away the time in the petrol queue....

Post by Airspeed »

From at least as far back as the early 1960s, see if you can sort this out:
11 was 1
racehorse
22 was 12.
1111
race,
22112!
EDIT: as suggested by Paul, let's have PM answers :agree:

That could mean disqualification, Joe; have to check the rule book.
Meanwhile, YOUR alphapuzzle, as the computer says:..... working on it...... *-)

We had four interpretations of the little ditty.
Kevin Farnell, PaulK, Brian (Fly Texas) and Joe (Airboatr)

Basically, for those who weren't in the four:

WunWun was one racehorse.
Tutu was one, too.
Wunwun won one race,
Tutu won one, too!


I first saw it in my sixteen year old girlfriend's autograph book.
It's OK, I was 18 at the time, and we later married.

The awards have come off the factory floor.
The blokes who brought them in to me said "Here's your Smartarse badges."
I asked the drawing office what the letters stood for, and they said "Superior Academic" of course.
I'll leave it to you to decide :agree:
