Dinner Riddle

lim peh ka li kong

lim peh have a riddle for you.

=====

I was invited to my friend's house for dinner last weekend. He is not married but with 3 other good friends, they stay in a beautiful condo.

Although 4 of them who stay under one roof are men, the house is really clean and comfortable.

When the dinner started, there were only 4 of them plus lim peh (I was the only guest they invited to the dinner).

The dinner was a buffet style and lim peh was the only one sitting on a stool eating my plate of dinner and the 4 of them were all standing around.


lim peh was very puzzled as there's only 1 stool in the whole house.

I asked my friend Tony, "Oei, Tony ah, why your house only 1 chair huh? Like that everyday you makan all 4 of you sit where?"

Tony replied, ".........."

=====

Can you guess the correct answer?

FAQ: They always eat out?
Ans: No, they eat in most of the time.

FAQ: All of them stand to have dinner?
Ans: No, they do not stand to eat their dinner.

FAQ: 1 sit and the rest stand?
Ans: No, all 4 sit to have their dinner at home.

FAQ: They sit on the floor? on the bed?
Ans: No, they sit on the stool.

FAQ: They take turn to eat their dinner?
Ans: No, they have dinner together at the same time.

SO? Can you make a guess?

    They all have different shifts thus they usually have dinner alone?

    Mm.. wah seh with this 'stool' in picture, really hard to imagine lol.. okie my 3 possible guesses:-

    a) They are 4 men but not all are human so is it 1 men + 3 male dogs thus your friend eat with his dogs on his lap = all on the stool? sounds funnie to imagine :P

    b) Same as (a) except that he keeps 3 male birds?

    c) They are gays (sorrry no offence pls pls juz a crazy thought) and they prob use different 'intimate styles' to eat their dinner? like feed each other on the laps??

    ;)

    If all four of them are to sit on the stool, one possibility is that they flip the stool over and sit on the legs...which really must have something to do with they being men or...gays? Okay, I admit, "dirty" thoughts are flowing through my mind...which is really the intention of this riddle:P

    I give up...very curious about the answer...

    i think is like squeezing in a crowded van lor. 2 skinny guys sit back to back on the stool.Then the other 2 sit on the skinny guys leg in different angle.

    無聊。越老越像老頑童。所寫的,都在迎合那些小朋友。小朋友們沒見過世面,連這個老調重彈的老謎語都沒聼過。不就是把凳子翻過來,把屁眼插入那4個凳子腳嘛!

    到了這個年紀,還在講這种屁,屎笑話,你說噁心不噁心,無聊不無聊?肉麻當有趣!拜托你啦!寫一些與你年紀相符的,可以嗎?比如,中年人的人生經驗,情懷,人情溫飽,感觸等等。

    就是説: change your target audience lah!我不寫。你寫。我讀。己所不慾,施與人。

    Aki

    Very good guess and (3) is very close to the answer.

    MrDes
    You must be an old ginger, you are absolutely right.

    MelMel
    Sorry, wrong guess, see answer from MrDes.

    哈哈,聽某人開罵,怎麼感覺份外親切? 哈哈哈~

    真的太久沒有聽到反對黨的聲音了~

    老明,不要凸他,難道你不想聽部份讀者的真心話﹖ 只愛聽好聽的? :D

    真的期待一篇佳作~ 由衷的~ (某人就素寫不出像偶這樣的一番話,才會被凸~~~)呵呵呵~

    凸定他啦!一个连blog都懒得写的无名氏,我睬他都傻。

    佳作如何定义?
    篇篇忿言怒语、句句埋天怨地,啥事都看不过眼,啥人都要屌一屌,这种佳作就由他来写。

    还想教令伯怎样写、写些什么题材、转换观众群,不凸他,我还是老阿明!?我没删除他的留言已是给足面子。

    还是那句老话,My playground 我话事。
    吹咩?

    不过,网上这些唇枪舌剑的交锋也几过瘾一下。

    Carvan
    Hmmm, you answer is workable for normal people.

    Bobo
    See answer from MrDes.

    中年人的人生經驗,情懷,人情溫飽,感觸等等..

    他要看的寫得很白了呀~

    偶也粉希望看到一篇"真心話"

    偶們這些老讀者無它,就素在尋求突破嘛~ 唉~

    那些寫得多元寫得好的都不寫了,你就不要一直寫冷笑話了啦~

    我不寫。你寫。我讀。己所不慾,施與人 (這難道不素一種期待﹖)

    對偶,他老早放棄~ 偶的對他而言素狗屎~ 哈哈哈~

    寫個幾篇讓偶們過過癮吧~ :)

    写部落,很个人,很自由。
    又不是做买卖推销产品之类的,干嘛要change target audience?

    敢问匿名者:你每天都为着别人生活吗?

    他是写得很白,超级白!

    人有所为、有所不为。

    他应该没什么人会屌他所以越来越嚣张,我就凸他一凸。

    新怡
    他的私事万分精彩,但我不做人身攻击。

    只希望他来我这留留言、发发牢骚,别冒充我到处留无聊的comments 就好。

    “我不做人身攻击”??? 呵呵,那是因为你根本没人身攻击可作!!!除非你想贻笑大方(如那个新怡,洋洋得意地暴露我在Dallas, Texas。)I dont know why you censored the earlier comment so I will paraphrase what I wrote earlier again: 你我都爱上广播电台。但,你听到的是R-级童话故事。我听到的是实事纪录片。真要做人身攻击,呵呵,你倒说说看,是R-级童话故事比较多"人身"可以给你攻击,还是实事纪录片比较多"人身"可以给我攻击?别幼稚了,那是一台广播电台。你不知道吗?我从第一次上广播讲那精彩万分的童话故事时,就知道了。莫非你录制了如此多的实事纪录片,至今还不知那是一个到处广播的广播电台?

    TMD,想不凸你都不行。侃侃而谈,似是而非,看到我老花纷乱,有读没懂。还有,我还是会删除留言的。

    Ni nao hia, 你就再blog吧,让我们到你那儿踩踩场,怎样?

    eh...firstly...how come the "unlgam" stool is in your mention beautiful condo?

    1) My guess would be they put a plank over the stool to act as a bench?

    2) They invert the chair and sit on the legs!
