What's my Line? Jack Schlenker (Moves haystacks)

[wmlfan9]

When Dorothy asked if she could have seen the product in New York it seems to me she should have gotten a no. How many haystacks are in Manhattan? (When Manhattanites say "New York" they do not mean the state, they mean the city.)

Hay has never been alive - on what planet?

[SueBeaWho]

Hi perlster, yeah it seems odd, but back then vegetation and the sort was not considered "alive" in the sense that a human being or animal is alive. Strange to us now, but I actually remember in my early school days that that was still the case even tho debated (or whatever the correct word is)at the time.

[soulierinvestments]

Probably the logic of that alive answer is something like this: we use hay when it is cut, it has to be cut to be hay, so it is not alive. Pretty confusing stuff.

[SueBeaWho]

That "alive" thing is confusing,I don't know why I remember it from my kid days of playing word games.For example a tree is alive, but in this game it was NOT considered alive?Great point on the hay thing like wood is not alive. I guess I liked to argue these points alot as a kid(still do lol)but that just sticks in my brain about plants and such not considered to have life which well to me they do.Or maybe it was the whole "are they aware, sentient beings"Arrgh here I go again babblin' away :-)

[bhamdodger]

The answer should have been yes. Because he asked if it had "ever" been alive. Animals aren't the only things that can be alive.

[Senpumaru]

Mars. Hay has never been alive on Mars, therefore the answer is valid.

[TheLights045]

Actually, hay is just grass that has been cut and dried. Not animal alive, but the cells were once.

Ya GOTTA LOVE Bennett: "Looks for needles." LOLOLOLOL

I love these suave city slicker New Yorkers so befuddled by a haystack mover :-)
