Title: Dogs in court
Post by KenYonRuKu on Mar 31st, 2004, 4:53pm
Two dogs, a couple of hammers and a pair of telephones were taken to court yesterday. They lost, but didn't receive a fine or go to jail. Why?

Were they taken to a tennis court, and lost a game of tennis.  I don't think hammers would have a good game.

Could be a basketball court too, or...

Someone with very wierd habits went to court someone he had a crush on, but he was too wierd so was rejected.

I could be way off here, but...

"couple of dogs" - I'm thinking a pair of pets - parapets
"couple of hammers" - ???
"couple of telephones" - pair of cell (phones) - parasails

Heck, if it included two physicians, it'd be nothing but a paradox!

Very close guys, but not the right sport. Keep guessing!

What else uses a "court" to play?

Volleyball...
Cricket...
racketball...

Hmm... maybe along the lines of [hide]chess[/hide].  I don't know how that would fit though except parapets could possibly be [hide]rooks[/hide] plus there's two of most of them, for one side at least.

My first impression was polo, but it'd be kind of hard to ride dogs around.

What about a Great Dane? They are pretty fast. Hm, and slim. It would be difficult to stay on them while they're running around...   :P

Hammers?  ???

evergreena3 is right... (but only by casting a word net and somehow snagging my hapless, gentle fish...  : ;)  )

It's volleyball... the hammers are hitters, the dogs are setters and the telephones are receivers...
