One? That would be 50 cents."
"All right, what if I buy 12?"
"Twelve would be one dollar, Mr. Elle."
"That sounds good. I would like 312."
"One dollar and 50 cents, please."
"There you go. Thank you Sandy."
"You too, Mr. Elle."

I know it's not Martinis! And yet I can hope..............

Still the riddle escapes me.

I got it, thanks to a very excellent hint!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a groaner.

(That is not a hint)

But wouldn't 312 Chocolate Martinis Up be better?

yay!!! Bernie is safe! Call off the Saint Bernards! (no, not you Bernie, the dogs that were out searching for you! )

 

[dianeschlicht]

Hey Bern, Holler next time you need help. One of us early pants recipients could have taken over dishing pants for you!

I think he was waiting for Matt to get home from school to hand out the smarty pants today.

 

[Boo'sMom]

Honestly..I didn't do ANYTHING today.....it was kinda nice...but I'm sure I'll be paying for that tomorrow...

312 martinis????!!!

Hey - anything after the 287th one is wasted on me....

Just watched SU squeak past Notre Dame. What a game!!! That win gives us a bye in the first round of the Big East tourney!!! Yahoo!

MATT - you did good, my friend. Great riddle - you stumped some folks and came up with one that had people guessing all day long. Well done and THANK YOU!

UGH! I had the answer, but forgot the modifier. So the second PM has been sent. [sigh]

 

[Lars624]

Congrats to the 'Mini-meister Matt'............you really had us guessing.
I hope you'll try doing the riddle again one day!

 

[Boo'sMom]

actually I think the answer was 312 cups of coffee...




Laura go back to bed.......lol

 

[Lars624]

Sadly for me I'm the type of person who can't go back to sleep....once I'm up...I'm up!

 

[amid chaos]

Goood morning ladies....I am like laura...once awake, there is no falling back to sleep...so here I sit.

 

[Boo'sMom]

[Lars624]

Good Morning Amid!
How is everything with you this morning?

 

[Boo'sMom]

[Lars624]
