I almost hit my head. And I'm not sure the dates helped. | ||

Dates = the fruits? calendar dates? appointments? people? something else? Relevant how many dates? "Dates" helped in hitting your head? helped in avoiding your head being hit? helped you getting along with your head almost being hit? Other people relevant? | ||

By Ostap Bender (Ostap) on Wednesday, October 26, 2005 - 10:24 am: Dates = the fruits? calendar dates? this one appointments? people? something else? Relevant how many dates? at least two "Dates" helped in hitting your head? helped in avoiding your head being hit? helped you getting along with your head almost being hit? none of these, but the last one is closest Other people relevant? yes By Vae (Vaetrus) on Wednesday, October 26, 2005 - 12:05 pm: Helped directly? Indirectly? hard to answer Helped physically? Emotionally? emotionally Hit as in bump? this one fall? slam? or this one slip? but I'm not certain where the limits between these are in all cases, English not being my first language | ||

was there a calendar hung on the wall that you had to look at, but it was below a cabinet so you hit your head while looking at the dates? | ||

The "head" in this riddle... is it even your head? Your human head? Or are we talking about the head of a nail? Something else? Did you almost hit your head ON something? Or did you almost hit your head WITH something? Or did you almost hit your head with your own hand? E.g. *facepalm* The FA - Was it that I was acting as if you HAD hit your head? | ||

so we have at least 2 dates, and an aural connection... were you listening to the radio? to someone else? did you THINK you heard one date, when another actually said? | ||
