The Wheels Have Come Off

The Boss : "What's the width of a car?"

Here's me : "What kind of car?"

The Boss : "Just the body."

Here's me : "Wha?"

The Boss : "Just the car body."

Here's me : "As opposed to?"

The Boss : "Without the tracks."

Here's me : "A car on tracks?"

The Boss : "Would the car be wider than the tracks?"

Here's me : "A car on tracks?"

The Boss : "It doesn't sit flush to the tracks though."

Here's me : "A... car... on... tracks?"

The Boss : "Do you think it's going to be wider than the tracks with the tracks off?"

Here's me : "Wha?"



I'll let you know how this one ends up, if I ever find out.

  2. It transpires she was talking about a crane. Crane/car/crane/car. I mean they're vaguely similar words, aren't they?

  3. scary biscuits - so not only do you have to cope with additional syllables in words and general anagram chaos, you now need to factor in missing letters in the anagrams.
