Here's a puzzle for you all!

How many body parts can you name that only have 3 letters.

No rude ones, or abreviations or made up ones and only ones that you were born with.

You should be able to think of 10.

There, that should keep you busy while there's no wind

Anna

eye
ear
arm
leg
toe

for starters, are there really 10?

Rib
Lip
Hip

only two to go

Definately...we've spent the afternoon thinking of them at work

The last 2 are the hardest. Doesn't look like I'm going to break the record for the longest post though.

Gob


Does that count??

Al.

Bum


Or is that too rude!

Lap
That makes 9

bap(s)

We're done

Ooohhh... I was about to put in lap!!!

but will have to go for Pap ((Anat.) A nipple; a mammilla; a teat. according to the dictionary) instead.

Gum

Still one to go. Al, I'm afraid I can't allow bum, gob or pap, or lap Seanbo or bap(s) Adam.

Keep guessing. the last one is a normal part of the body. You'll all have heard of it

Whats wrong with pap??? or lap??

I know the last one as well.... but I'm not allowed to post it as Anna told me the answer.

Its not particularly unusual.

Al.

lid

As in (eye) lid

That's a good answer Andy but it's not the one I was thinking of (and I suppose technically it's an eye lid not just a lid!)....I'm getting picky now

boo hoo !

I was thinking Pit or Tip, but Anna will probably disqualify them as they are used with Arm and Finger.

it's jaw!!!!!!

yeaaah

what do i win?

Well done bucski. I can give you some brownie points as a prize. Always usful when you want to go out to play and there are other thing that need doing. Al is always running short

excellent, brownie points sounds good, I may transfer them to Al if he is in short supply!

I'm not sure if that's allowed! What would he give you in return I wonder???

hmmmm, lots of good wind reports????

OK... Here you go bucksi, in exchange for Brownie Points, you own personal forecast.

For the forseeable future there will be blue skies, blazing sunshine and a steady 20 knot wind. This will only be available to you, as everyone else will be freezing their tits off (I'm surprised no one mentioned 'tit' in the above puzzle!) under cloudy skies and gusty winds that drop to nothing just as they've rigged up, or go ballistic just as they've rigged their biggest kit.

In addition, everytime you turn up to the beach, a couple of bikini-clad Reef girls will appear out of the dunes to set your kite up for you and apply sun-cream (you won't be needing a wetsuit). They will then stand at the waters edge cheering every move you make!

When you finally come off the water they will be ready with a cool glass of beer and will help you with some much needed R&R.

Everyone else will meanwhile be struggling to sort out their tangled lines with frozen hands wearing sand-filled damp smelly wetsuits with their wife and kids yelling at them that they want to go home!.

Hows that sound??

Al.

Couldn't have said it better myself, consider all my brownie points transferred, use them wisely!!
Am now taking two weeks off work to enjoy my forecast, tell those reef girls to wait in the dunes for me!!!!
tim

for your sake buckski i hope al's right cause if the weathers cold those reef girls will be mightly disappointed..as us blokes all know things shrivel in the cold....

heated pants any-one

cheers col
things may shrivel up a little for us blokes, but think about the effect of the cold on those reef girls, something to hang your kite lines on!!!
