Yes, these are the actual questions transposed from an actual checklist passed out at the office I work in. No, the original did not include a question 8.
Sorry. May I put you on hold for a moment? It’s my wife.
I think question 8 was “Which wire would you suggest we cut?”, but then it was realized that there would be no way to gauge the truthiness of the response.
10) Were you bombed when you placed the bomb?
(I hate myself)
I thought question 8 might be “Who’s driving the bus?”
11) Is Tom Cruise in it?
Well…. It depends on how many wires there are:
If he says “black”, then you know that he think that you will think he is lying and you will cut the red one–so cut the black one!
Right on Gray. Just remember never to go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
12) What is your favorite color?
13) Are you the kind of person who finds loud noises unpleasant?
14) How about fireballs?
15) Death?
Is 8 considered an unlucky number or something?
8) Is it the red wire?
I’m a gonna suggest that 20 questions may not be the optimum strategy for this here sitiation…
MeGehee: Only if its somebody else’s money.
Seems like excellent prioritizing to me.
8) Do you have six fingers?
16. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
That depends—is Unladia in Europe or Africa?
Wait a minute, if these swallows aren’t laden with a bomb, who cares how fast they get here.
They could string it on a creeper held by their dorsal guiding feathers…
A similar, slightly longer, list is at McSweeny’s (http://mcsweeneys.net/links/lists/14MikeAparicio.html)
so what do you think?
Absolutely agree with previous reports
