This Blog's research assistant, Professor X has volunteered his services in the quest for knowledge'
Here he is seen about to embark on his mission to discover how accurate is the statement "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle", when applied to mermaids.
Wish him luck.
A phrase only a women could come up with!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's "A woman needs: -A man like a fish needs a bicycle."
ReplyDeleteI would say it all depends upon the nature of the ride ... xxx
ReplyDeleteHe will need luck when that bike hits the water! What is that thing on his head?
ReplyDeleteOh. Never mind. Let me start over...
I thought I read in the Guardian where Professor X had drowned.
ReplyDeleteAs usual I find it hard to follow your train of thought, but I think I have it:
ReplyDelete"No bicycle fish will rub your bed with hot-buttered toast?"
Very mystical to contemplate.
What do I win?
RDG,
ReplyDeleteFish have such short memories that the ride's always new.
As for a woman? Well, she could always ask a fish.
Relax, Max.
ReplyDeleteThe thing on his head is a kind of inverse goldfish bowl. In most cases, everything inside the bowl is the goldfish's world.
Not here.
Prof X drowned! Let me go check the Grauniad. Nope. Phew. No news is good news.
As for working out the riddle, you're close. Close-ish.
