I NEED MORE ABOUT BOS WELL - solve a riddle part two

[Bamchicabaawaa]

I have just read forty pages of thread and it’s almost full! Let us congregate here for answers!

Can we all make a pact that if anyone does work it out or has a flash of inspiration, that they come back to this thread and explain?

Similarly, if any one of us meets this Boswell, we are to lynch the step-mounting prick and tell him MN sent us.

In Cockney rhyming slang Boss is Dead Loss.

Not sure if that's relevant.

@TellItLikeItReallyIs yes! I don’t know anything about class action lawsuits, but I agree that someone needs to pay for this Boswell bollocks 😂
I’m really annoyed about this! Stupid OP

alligatorsmile - I have the feeling that will not work...

I'm am just about wetting myself!

I don’t know anything about class action lawsuits

@MontyPants - neither do I! But you know... united we stand etc.

😂 I don't think you do actually get it bloody useless, perhaps you thought you did and now don't want to admit you are wrong. Ah well must have been nice to think you were in on it for a while 😂

I absolutely get it.

Is this it? Would work for Andrew or Andrea?

I just wanted to thank you for not just smugly claiming to have"got it" and continuing the wind up, but actually explaining your theory, which makes sense and has not been refuted by the self-proclaimed "knowers". You have enabled me to walk away from this thread and hopefully never visit it (or any future spawns, god forbid) again! You are theyou unsung hero of BosHell and I salute you.

I am disappointed no one has appreciated my insightful answer.

Face sadder than this one ->

Oh flipping nora, aIl right, I salute you too BoswellandAndAndyForshort

Ok so the only common denominator here is the name Boswell/Bos. Every other part of the “joke” can supposedly be changed so Bos is a woman, she goes to the library, there are no steps.... etc.
So why is Bos the joke? And the fact that the OP and anyone else who has “got it” CAN’T tell us, means there’s nothing to get other than to pretend you get it. I think it’s the Mornington Crescent theory, but the OP can’t tell us because THAT’S THE POINT

If you know the answer, you cannot reveal it.

If you reveal the answer, it is wrong.

Discussing an answer is therefore pointless. Not even the people who get it can discuss it with each other, as we saw from the OPs comment about not knowing whether Derek gets it.

There is no clever wordplay to the Boswell riddle, just an understanding of the philosophy of the riddle itself and the very nature of knowledge.

Thank you. Only after a small bit of application.

Bloodyuseless - do you agree with this statement "there is no answer"?

Cults have sprung up over less woo than this.

I SAID CULTS.

His name was Boswell.
He was a showgirl...

OMG.....I think I know!!! I’m FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

BloodyUseless - without revealing the answer, can you tell us how your reached it?

purpleface awww thank you

TellItLikeItIs Yes!!!!! Frowned upon on MN but maybe we could make an exception to start a crowdfunder.

If the lawyer gets nowhere, I suggest hiring a private investigator to hunt down the OOP and force it out of her. Liam Neeson style in Taken.

Is it some kind of Zen?

I think the clue is in the way @Derek and the Boswell OP phrased their responses, especially the italics and highlighting in Derek's - and that @IAmPorcupine is correct. There is no answer. They have both said either " I can't tell you the answer" or "I can't explain it" because it is literally that. No answer.

I don't think there's an answer because there's no question.

Aren't we meant to find why it's funny? It's meant to be a joke

...and if there is no answer, then saying there is no answer answers the question, which makes the fact there is no answer incorrect?
