Incidentally this little puzzler had 30% and TP engaged for a good while on the drive up to Wales a couple of weeks ago.
I should be clear that ONLY because I'm on holiday and ONLY because the kids are watching the x-factor (which as we're all aware is the spawn of the devil televised) I've concluded that these questions are deserving of an answer....
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: Seven
Six of which lead me to imagine complex back stories, but even I can't dream up a valid meaning for "A lump of Pixie's ear lucky wax". The rest of them are...
Lucky a lump of Pixie's ear wax
A lucky lump of Pixie's ear wax
A lump lucky of Pixie's ear wax
A lump of lucky Pixies's ear wax
A lump of Pixie's lucky ear wax
A lump of Pixie's ear wax lucky.
Question 2. "A lucky lump of Pixie's ear wax"
Question 3.
As any fool knows a lump of Pixie's ear wax is extremely rare. Dwarves, midgets, gnomes, trolls & leprechauns all have copious amounts of ear wax. This is mostly because they are far better known for their mining, circus appearances, fishing, bridge guarding and pot o' gold hoarding than they are for nipping into boots to pick up a pack of cotton buds.
Pixie's on the other hand, can often be seen nestled behind the nail polish remover or the cotton wool balls in your local Superdrug, Boots or Supermarket ablutions section. They are there to steal the cotton buds to which they are forever addicted.
Let me explain. How many Pixie's have you seen WITHOUT a cotton bud in his or her ear (or course there are female pixie's!! How else would they reproduce) ? They are fastidious about the cleanliness of their ears and for very good reason. A clean eared pixie can hear an ants footsteps from just over two miles away and as their main income is generated from ant farming (on ant farms obviously) this is an extremely important and highly developed skill. Should one of their flock wander off, this skill is employed to track them down and bring them back to the heard (with the use of a highly trained ant bed bug). "come bye, come bye" shout the Pixie's to the Bed bug, and the bed bug chases down the ants into their pens ready for shearing. Ant shells are used to coat the inside of frying pans and the outer hull of those tiles on the space shuttle. This is a little known fact discovered by NASA and leapt on by the Pixie community.
Clearly, as Pixie ear wax is SO rare, should you ever find any (occasionally a discarded cotton bud shows up, having been discarded by baby trolls who use them in bridge defence training until they develop their shouting skills "Who's that trip trapping over MY bridge ??" ) that would be extremely fortuitous and result in you exclaiming: "Good Lord!!, A lucky lump of Pixie's ear wax. That stuff's worth a fortune on eBay!!
Hope that brightens up your Sunday evening / Monday morning. Oh buggerit! That's five paragraphs. Ta Ta.
PS: The Bonus question.... as long as the X-Factor was on and I was in the room.... so about 20 minutes. I couldn't take any more after that.
