When I found out Clyde was a racist, I was glad that this was my day for getting a flu shot. How come? | ||

Was Clyde going to give you the flu shot? Did you find out on the same day? Is it relevant how you found out? Is Clyde white? black? hispanic? Jewish? Is he racist against whites? blacks? hispanics? Jews? Would someone else (of a different race) have suffered if it had been their day to get a flu shot? | ||

Was Clyde racist against... a particular religion? Asians? Austrailians? Brits? europeans? French? Dutch? Indians? Russians? Native Americans? Pacific Islanders? Does your joy over getting the flu shot have to do with... actually receiving the shot? Who paid for the shot? The administrator of the shot? The origin of the vaccine? What happened before receiving it? What happened after receiving it? The effect of receiving it? Being able to say "I've got the flu."? Did Clyde get on your nerves? And you wanted him to leave you alone? So you pointed out that you had just gotten the vaccine? And might be contagious? And weren't feeling well? | ||

Is it relevant specifically what Clyde said? Who he said it to? Any other relevant person(s) involved? if so, any relevant chinese people involved? The relevant effect of the flu shot: a physical side effect? the intended immunization? the mark from the shot itself? someone else's reaction to your having had the shot? a mental effect of the shot (for instance, feeling relieved that you wont get the flu)? is it relevant who is administering the flu shots? if so, is that person chinese?
Does this mean you reacted to his comment, but not verbally? Did you give him a look? Do something to him? Gesture at him? | ||

Is this physical side effect one that results from having a needle stuck in your arm? would you also have it if you'd given blood? had an injection to immunise you against MMR? Is it also a side effect of actually having flu? Did he say something to a specific chinese person? Was it a statement which contained factual innaccuracies? Or just distasteful opinions?

HINTS: 1.) Think about what else you do & don't do when planning to exercise. 2.) Find out the circumstances under which the racist remark was made. | ||

New member Username: Nimue Post Number: 2990 Registered: 8-2001 |
RECAP: Since you have established that the relevant thing about the flu shot was that people are often told not to engage in aerobic exercise for 24 hours after immunization, the puzzle can be rephrased as follows: When I found out that Clyde was a racist, I was glad that I knew I would not be engaging in aerobic exercise that day.

So you didn't exercise... therefore you didn't change your shoes... and those shoes were made by Chinese? Sweatshop kids? Is there anything special about your shoes that's relevant to this puzzle? Did you stick your stinky shoes in his locker to get revenge? Wow, I'm tired... I've been doing so well at these. | ||

Were you buying? or did you need new walking shoes? Is the place where you keep your shoes relevant? Clyde's job? his residence? If you had exercised that day, would you have met Clyde? heard him? been affected by his actions? Before you had your shoes on? while putting them on? wearing them? after removing them? | ||

Was Clyde's remark made in the media? tv? radio? newspaper? magazine? THis may sound strange but is throwing your shoe in anger relevant? Wild guess!!! You heard his racist remark and threw a shoe in anger which fell down a hole or something. You had just purchased a new pair of expensive trainers and were relieved you hadn't been wearing them instead? Is the cost or newness(?) of your walking shoes or trainers relevant? | ||

Some properties of "the shoes" are relevant: does this refer to the shoes you would have worn for exercising? Or the shoes you were wearing because you weren't exercising? You were glad you wouldn't be exercising that day: because something bad would happen if you were to exercise? Or because something good would happen because you weren't going to exercise? Did not exercising allow you to get some revenge on Clyde? prove a point to him? | ||

So because you were wearing your non-exercise shoes, you were able to get some revenge on Clyde? that you wouldn't have been able to get if you'd been wearing your exercise shoes? Any of the following shoe properties relevant: color? material? shape? height (e.g. heels)? ease of removal? presence or absence of laces? presence or absence of buckles? sound you make while walking in them? | ||

Your non-exercise shoes had high heels? Were you therefore able to see something you otherwise wouldn't have seen? Or was somebody (Clyde?) able to see you, when they otherwise wouldn't have? | ||

The shoe material is relevant: Did your non-exercise shoes contain leather? fabric? wood? plastic? other synthetic? When you heard Clyde's racist remark, did you get your revenge right then and there? Or did you do it somewhat later? To get your revenge, did you say something? make a gesture? show someone your shoes? take your shoes off? do something else with your shoes? | ||

Long time no see ;-)) Did you kick him/step on his foot/attack him physically? Yes!! ********* SPOILER ************ When I heard a lowlife in a grocery store say something about "the little chink who runs the laundry," I was very glad I was about to have a flu shot, because it meant that I would not be taking a long walk that day & hence was wearing not my soft-soled walking shoes, but a pair of shoes with sharp little French heels, one of which found its way onto his toe as I exited the store. "Oh, I'm so sorry," I said sweetly, lacking the courage to say, "Compliments of the 'chink'."Yes, I know you shouldn't attack people physically just because they say something disgusting. But a saint I ain't.Thanks for sticking with it everyone & for solving it, Alizon, & please check out my new puzzle you-know-where. |
