Did we ever find out about Boswell?

'There once was a man called Boswell. For short they called him Bos, and he walked up the post office steps.'

Did we ever find out the answer/what the joke was?

That is all very disappointing.

Wish I hadn't looked at this thread. I'm annoyed all over again.

Did people look at the screen shots I've posted? I'm happy to believe that's the solution. It's a crap joke/riddle and that's it. It didn't warrant that huge threat, But I feel I have closure now!

I feel like I will not have closure until there is a good answer to it.

@timetostepup

There once was a man called Boswell. And, four short, they called him Bos. Andy walked up the post office steps (to get some letters) is my favourite solution. But I'm pretty sure it's just a wind up.

Just as I thought I'd gotten over boswellgate...

There are only rubbish answers because the riddle doesn’t exist and was made up for the trolling purposes/amusement of the original op. People have tried to fit answers to it but they are all shit because there isn’t one.
It’s like if I posted the ‘riddle’ ‘Bob stepped out of the car. He saw a cat. The cat ran away.’ Loads of people could try to make it work but they wouldn’t cos it’s a load of bollocks I’ve just made up. Then I could come back and say ‘I’ve found the answer now but can’t tell you’.

Why did I open this. Why have I reopened my brain to this.

Was it a bobcat?

Ugh. I'd forgotten about this shite until now. Damn you op!

I knew I shouldn’t have opened this bloody thread, now I’m annoyed and I’ve lost the game!

It wasn't any of the answers posted here. I don't think the OP of the original thread was trolling as she had a posting history that backed up her story. She did say she couldn't comment further though.

WTF is this?!?!

The fact the op of the thread had a posting history and may well have been trolled by her family doesn’t mean the riddle exists. There is no sign of it anywhere online apart from the thread she made.

I couldn’t possibly comment on whether the answer to my riddle is bobcat ScreamingValenta but it can be if it gives you closure 😂

I remember reading a possible answer that made total sense so I stopped looking at the thread as I assumed it was correct, unfortunately I can’t remember what it was

I read the entire thread and there were no answers that both made sense and were funny. There was also no question or anything to answer so it didn’t even fit the format of a riddle. Jokes that rely on the listener saying something that the teller then responds to need to have an obvious first response not the obscure stuff some people were coming up with.
It doesn’t exist In telling you! Either the op was trolling or being trolled.

The was a man called Boswell. For short they called him Bos and he walked up the post office steps... And DIED.

Not again 😩🤯

Freddy Boswell from Bread? I think he went off with Lilo Lil.

Was that really it? I thought it was more along the lines of -

When the person asks what the answer is, the riddler says: I can't tell you the answer.

Everyone gets frustrated.

But the truth is that what they've said IS the answer. They can't tell you the answer because there is no answer. The Boswell thing is just bollocks and the 'joke' is the difference between someone thinking they're not being told the answer and realising there is no answer.

Something like that anyway. Not worth the time of day!

I love the 'and i know him as well' thing

Its fuckwit riddle, there is no answer, the "joke" is that those that understand this sit in the corner being as smug as fuck saying "I can't tell" whilst you get wound up about them saying "i know the answer, its easy if when you see it".

anyone that won't tell you the answer when you have got wound up about it is a fuckwit.

Omg fucking Boswell makes me want to cry!

Why did you start this thread OP? I had just forgotten about bloody Boswell.

Please people stop trying to think of a solution, the desperate (and completely ridiculous) attempts at guessing makes me want to cry even more.

You shit!

There once was a man called Boswell. And for short. They called him, "Bos!" And he walked up the post office steps.
