It all adds up

[Basil]

I have never tried this in written form, only verbally, but lets give it a go. What I want you to do is to answer each question without thinking about it too much - just answer each question as quickly as you can. Say the answers outloud to yourself. Don't cheat and look ahead. Ready?

How much is five plus two?

How much is three plus four?

How much is one plus six?

How much is zero plus seven?

How mush is six plus one?

How much is two plus five?

Name a vegetable.

Did you say "Carrot"?

When this is done verbally to someone, 95 percent of people will say carrot. Don't ask me why.

I said carrot...
But I stopped at 'sux plus one'
Wasn't sure if it was a typo or part of the gag.

Why would you expect LBC owners to give 'normal' responses?

 

[DougR]

I said Ketchup.

[Basil]

Obviously this doesn't work unless its done verbally.
