If you go to the movies and you're paying, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice, or two friends to the movies at the same time?

Once with 2 = cost for 3
Once ea X2 = cost for 4

Tread and tansers to tilting at windmills

Red got it..that

"Trivial but true" we tansers sing. But is the award winning tanser true? Uh, by the by, what is the award? Is it a freebeebee?

The question asked "What was the first product that Daisy Air Pistol and Rifle Company produced"?
The correct answer was said to be the Plymouth Iron Windmill Co. But the Daisys were first produced by the Daisy Manufacturing Company - as the question correctly answers.
The first product produced by the windmill company was windmills.

The windmill company changed its name to Daisy in 1895. Ten years earlier another company had made and produced air rifles made of wood. And eight years earlier a metal air rifle had been developed and the windmill company gave these away as an incentive to the purchase of a windmill. Five years earlier the windmill company were producing 50,000 air rifles a year.

To return to the point: the first product that Daisy Air Pistol and Rifle Company produced under that name was a Daisy.

Trivial but true.

 

[Doctor Zoidburg]

The Daisy wind mill company produced the air rifles as a give away to their customers, the rifles became so popular that they comapny made them for sale to the public. Years later windmills went out of fashion and the popularity of air rifles survived. The Daisy wind mill company was named daisy because the wind mills were shaped like the daisy flower.


Biancataylor,

Perhaps you can encourage the horny minds of the TERB members by offering a prize in the form of a limited edition e-mail montage of you ample attributes. I am sure that this would encourage greatly the participation in this thread. This is what the Doctor prescribes.
