"SMART GUNS MARRY FLOSMO?" screamed Bill Giles (and so is Michael
фиш
ποισσόν
ichthýs)
"Hello."
    "Goodbye."
        "What is this a representation of?"

{A wheeled table bearing a decorated elliptical slab on which there stands a pyramid. The front of the pyramid has a circular aperture embedded in a square slot. The pyramid's apex is flashing. A double-ended curved arrow hangs in front, pointing to either side. A musical note floats out.}

(a) a metrognome
(b) a broken clock
(c) a broken mind
(d) a broken pencil (pointless)

And now on BBC1, BBC2.

"So what does 'Liff' mean?"

a) An abbreviation of "Liffey", middle name of Anna Livia Plurabelle (sometimes), and riverrun that rivers through Dublin.
b) A misspelling for "lift".
c) A homonym of "Liff".
d) A misspelling for "cart".

Is this question rhetorical?
