Looking for Old Time stuff for your 75th Anniversary Awards??

From Bill Smith, The roundtable guy (www.wtsmith.com/rt)

Two of my favorite sources for old-time games are:

ü     Children's Games In Street and Playground, Ona and Peter Opie.

ü     Children's Games Anthology: Studies in Folklore and Anthropology, Brian Sutton Smith

ONE LAST THING

These are real answers given by children.

Q:  Name the four seasons.

A:  Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar.

Q:  Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to drink.

A:  Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists.

Q:  How is dew formed?

A:  The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire.

Q:  How can you delay milk turning sour?

A:  Keep it in the cow.

Q:  What causes the tides in the oceans?

A:  The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature hates a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.

A:  When you get old, so do your bowels and you get intercontinental.

A:  Premature death.

Q:  How are the main parts of the body categorized? (e.g., abdomen.)

A:  The body is consisted into three parts - the brainium, the borax and the abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain; the borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels, A, E, I, O, and U.

Q:  What is the fibula?

A:  A small lie.

Q:  What does "varicose" mean?


A:  Nearby. (I do love this one...)

Q:  Give the meaning of the term "Caesarean Section"

A:  The Caesarean Section is a district in Rome.
