Clyde’isms is something that I have become familiar of late. If you are wondering what I am talking about , its simply this; a friend & excolleague (Clyde Alweyn) has found a innovative way to enliven Gmail. He puts a witty oneliner in his IM status everyday which in some way could be termed as a spoof of the daily dose of ‘Quotable Quotes’ or ‘thought for the day’ that one get to find nowadays. One such is on to the right of your screen. A number of times I have made an attempt to find original & innovative answers to his witty one liners and a collection of it is published in this article. I thought it would be interesting to share with my blog readers & elicit their response too. So here’s the list (part 1)

Good ones although I had to struggle to understand some of them. The struggle is due to having friends with better sense of humor and intelligence than me. :)
