This is the last FF before Christmas, so I am recycling my Panto questions from 18th December 2020.

Hope you can have some fun with these, even if you took part before.

2. Why was the White Rabbit late? … His big old pocket watch battery ran down, so he didn’t know what time it was.

5. What did Jack exchange for the magic beans?  … He exchanged his bag of left over Halloween candy.

6. Why do they always shout ‘It’s behind you!!’ … Because they make you look behind you while they are picking your pocket.
7. What was the house in the woods made of that Hansel and Gretel found? … It was made of leather, because it was a giant shoe shaped house. The witch was the old woman in the shoe with all the kids.

Here are the new questions for Fibbing Friday. Our hostess, Di says:

I’m no Shakespeare but how would you use/continue these famous lines?

***

1. What light through yonder window breaks?  … When the baseball crashes through the window … run!

2. Alas, poor Yorick………………..He got caught after breaking the window with his baseball. He didn’t run fast or far enough.

3. Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? … Yorick’s partner in crime – he threw the baseball that Yorick hit with the bat, that crashed into the window of the neighbor’s house.

4. To be, or not to be…………………….truthful, when he was also caught running away with Yorick.

5. All the World’s a stage……………………The two culprits of the baseball fiasco, were on display in the juvenile courts, while parents, neighbors, judge, jury, and other interested parties met for the trial.

6. All that glisters………… Tears glittered on the two kid’s cheeks as they cried out their apologies for breaking the window.

7. Give every man thy ear…………… The judge and jury listened carefully to all concerned before passing sentence.

8. Neither a borrower nor a lender be ….. The judge lectured the boys – don’t borrow trouble by playing ball near houses, and don’t lend to their troubles by running away.

9. Many a true word…………The boys took to heart the judges decree, agreed to work hard to earn money to pay for the window, and pledged their word never to do it again.

10. Do not swear by the moon……………..Unbeknownst to all gathered, it was a full moon cycle, the boys had their fingers crossed to un-do any consequences they incurred, as they swore to walk the straight and narrow from now own.

Next day they were out there again playing baseball near the houses in the neighborhood. Did they learn their lesson … I think not.
