FAST Riddle #25 bingo
James Ertner
The continuing-with-the-German-theme FAST Riddle #25
At what speed did a famous German magician make an arrangement with the devil?
Stan, Lars, Gary H, and Charles correctly answered, but it was Stan who was the Faust (I mean, first) to know that the German magician didn’t make the arrangement slowly but very FAUST.
Thanks to the quartet of punsters for playing.
Jim

FAST RIDDLE #22 (bingo)

The on-the-fast-track FAST RIDDLE #22 Back in the late 1960’s Steve McQueen was preparing for his career-defining role as a high caliber detective with the enigmatic name. Upon reading the script he realized that he was going to be required to do some very fast and dangerous driving and began to wonder if he was up to the task. To prepare himself for the automotive stunts to come, he took a trip to Japan where he spent many long hours riding to and fro on their high-speed rail system. What did he call this exercise? ( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( )-0-( ) Faster than I could respond, Lars managed to supply me with the answer I required… #### BULLITT TRAINING

Lars, Stan, and Charles all correctly answered, but Lars was first with:
#### One is fascinate and the other is FASTen eight.
Thank you, threesome, for playing.
