We=HAM? 2+, 5+, 10+, 50+, 100+, 100+ people? Can the quote be replaced with "Elephants?"? Or "Elephants!"? Puns relevant? Is it a punchline? the answer to a question? Riddle? Joke? Were the groans and laughter yours? Someone else's? Was the perfect unison accidental, or the result of practice? | ||

Was it a silly answer to a normal question? Or was the question itself silly? The other people relevant in other ways than the fact that you caused them to laugh and groan? Was your answer an in-joke, or could anyone (anyone with humor and/or a vivid/twisted imagination) have answered the same? | ||

Did you ask the question? Did you see/read the question? Did someone else ask you a question? Was "Elephants" the correct answer to this question? Was the question "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?" | ||

Did Chris ask Damien? you? Susan? all together? Is "Elephants" a correct answer to the question? Would be "Elephant" correct either? if not: Relevant how many elephants? a specific number?

Are elephants actually relevant at all? Or just the word "elephant"? Well they weren;'t relevant to our conversation but elephants was a perfectly acceptable to the question Chris asked. So something pertaining to elephants is very relevant | ||

Where does ivory come from? Yes Is Ivory a person's name? yes it's Damiens surname a place name? some other proper name? **********Spoiler************* I think that's enough for me to declare a spoiler. Damien's surname is Ivory . When Chris asked him what his surname was he said "Ivory, now that's unusual I've never heard of the name Ivory before, where does it come from?" . To which Susan and myself in perfect harmony cried out "Elephants". I did warn that this was on the silly side. Well done to Noel & Biograd who between them had enough for me to put this out of it's misery |
