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!

Son I can't answer yours?

Or what would you rather? Bee or a wasp? Or what would you rather be, or a wasp. Drove me mad.

Forward I am heavy, backward I am not

She said she was seeing her friend today! So that means update soon?

It's similar to 'How many letters would this question contain if the answer weren’t already seventy?' - the answer can really only be seventy four as that increases the number of letters by the same number as the difference between seventy and seventy four.

What percentage of MNers never bother to RTFT, even when there are 900+ posts?

Divide it by 4.5 and you’ll have the answer to the Boswell crap.

*Forward I am heavy, backward I am not'

A ton!

Ooh dojo I like it!!

BuggerOff I believe you weigh a ton!

Morning from NZ! Still no resolution

This is our Brexit negotiations

The op did reveal the answer.....it is ‘I can’t tell you’. She wasn’t saying she wasn’t going to reveal the answer she was saying the answer is.....I can’t tell you!

zebra, my grandad always used to say 'which would you pick or a shovel?'
Ah, happy memories, thanks OP!.

I have a theory....

Bos.... Well..... Steps.... Stairs?
Bos Stair Well

Stair Wells go round and round...

Just as everyone here is doing. But Bos isn't a stairwell.

Any good?

NO... And if you reveal the answer you won't be going round and round any more because you know the answer but then stairwell analogy becomes untrue. Because you're not going round and round....

That could be it?

And that's why they can't tell you and THAT'S how OP figured it out by watching you lot go round and round. Like a stairwell. But if you knew the answer you'd stop talking about it so it would then become untrue.

Sorry, just wanted a reason to use them!!!!!

Cos a toasting fork and the letter Y are same shape

Ah I see. Our toasting fork has three prongs. That’s why it didn’t make sense to me.

@VisitorsEntrance - just use the W from Why in that case. Or buy a new toasting fork.

(Save the old one for doing in the original OP.and the Boswell family.)

I like ALL the 'wrong' answers more than I like the 'right' answer.

Riddle teller: Boswell riddle

Other person: what the hell are you on about?

Riddle teller: I can’t tell you

Other person: What??!! Etc etc ad nauseam

NOTE riddle teller says I CAN’T tell you, not I WON’T tell you. Is a play on the word can’t in the response.

Yes, ooh, we've grasped that one ...

Thereonce Boswelland Forshort was found dead today in mysterious circumstances. Police are questioning members of Mumsnet who had become fixated on Mr. Boswell. Anyone who may have seen Mr. Boswell on the Post Office steps is asked to come forward. It is believed the weapon used to kill the victim was a toasting fork.

@JaneJeffer has the truth of it...

@SonofSaturn I had to put my phone away because I was laughing out loud on the bus at that.

This has been entertaining even if the riddle (is it a riddle if there’s no question?) or joke (is it a joke if it’s not funny) aren’t so much. I like the “I know him as Well.” response best as it is actually funny and makes sense.

I think OP is sadly never returning, it’s either all been a wind up/experiment/something got missed out that would have made it make sense/it’s so crap that no-one will admit to the punchline or it’s a variant on the ‘brick joke’.

Here’s the brick joke: www.ecphorizer.com/EPS/site_page.php?page=1076&issue=68

I think I've got it :)
