Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What happened to the chandler who went to the office party?

Answer: He got lit up

In days gone by, a chandler was the head of a section in large medieval homes or castles, whose job it was to make candles and soap. Today the word is associated more with candle makers alone. The pun consists of a combination of candles lighting up dark areas when they are "lit" - and an expression to describe anyone who has consumed too much alcohol. That person is said to be "lit up".
2. If Tweety Bird had been a soldier in the days of the American wild west, what would he say when under attack?

Answer: I fort I taw a puddy tat

Tweety, also known as Tweety Bird, was an animated young canary created by Warner Brothers back in 1942. Because he was a young bird when originally presented, he was endowed with a voice that still hadn't mastered the correct pronunciation of many words.

He was frequently at risk of being caught and consumed by Sylvester the Cat - and whenever he spied that fiend about, was famous for exclaiming "I tawt I taw a puddy tat!" (I thought I saw a pussycat). A fort was a defensive structure in which soldiers resided in many old western movies, where they were frequently attacked in Indian raids.

The pun rests in the words "fort" and "tawt".
3. How was the baker who liked car racing often described?

Answer: He had a knead for speed

Kneading is the acting of combining ingredients into a pile of dough with the hands in order to prepare it for cooking. Bakers are expert at this traditional method. It's quite fascinating seeing them work the dough in this manner, rather than allowing a machine to do it for them. Kneading is carried out several times until the dough has reached a smooth consistency and is ready for cooking. "Need for speed" is a term often associated with car racing.

The pun rests in the words "knead" and "need".
4. How can you tell when a dentist is depressed?

Answer: He looks down in the mouth

"Down in the mouth" is a term for someone who is looking a bit glum. Instead of smiling, that person's lips are turned down sadly. Dentists, while performing their work, have to look "down into the mouths" of their terrified patients to see where to accurately place that instrument of terror - the drill.
5. The sarcastic hairdresser had a bad habit of doing what?

Answer: Making cutting remarks

Anyone who has made a "cutting remark" has said something that is mean, bitterly witty, or hurtful to another person or persons. Hairdressers of course, as part of their work with hair, often have to "cut" same to get it into shape. That is where the pun rests.
6. How did the manicurist hang her new painting?

Answer: On nails

A major part of the work of manicurists involves treating, polishing, shaping and painting fingernails. Many paintings are hung up on walls on sturdy metal nails. The pun rests on the use of the word "nails".
7. What happened to the angry Australian taxi driver?

Answer: He did his block

If anyone has "done his block" that person has completely lost his temper - with accompanying behaviour to reflect that mood. This is a very well known expression in Australia, but to a lesser degree elsewhere, perhaps. Taxi drivers take their passengers all over the place.

This could even include just going around a large "block" in the city if that customer is incapable of walking that far. The pun therefore is on the word "block".
8. How did the ill jockey feel?

Answer: A little hoarse

If anyone has a sore throat, it is commonly described as being "hoarse". Jockeys of course work with "horses". The pun rests on those two homophones.
9. What was the taciturn hunter known for doing?

Answer: Keeping his trap shut

Keeping one's trap shut is a term that describes anyone who has shut up about something, or being told to do so, or is known for not saying much at all in any situation. That person is, in fact, rather taciturn. "Trap" in this case refers to the mouth. Many hunters use traps while hunting animals. If the trap is shut, it hasn't been set up to catch any of its prey.
10. In which state was the campanologist who fell in the river?

Answer: Wringing wet

Campanologists study bells and how they are cast or tuned. They also work hands-on in the trade of bell ringing, which was a task once carried out manually, but today is more than likely an automatic process carried out by machinery. The pun rests on the word "wringing" wet and "ringing" bells.
