That's a good one!
I'm with u, lovelyaznpnay38.
Mmmhmm- Nutty
oooooh! good one
hahaha!!!!!Funny in a stupid way
Good teaser but the title "Pretaining?"
I had a teacher who said it was like a woman's bathing suit.
LOL, clever I thought it was a summary. but that was a good riddle
I think that that teaser wuz totally innapropriate!!!!!!!
Why do u think it's inappropriate? I couldn't see anything porno about it at all. My first thought was 'opinion' but when I saw the answer I was thinking DUH!
Hehehehehehehe!!!!!! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Cute!!!!!!! Forget what everyone else says, I love it!
Hmm that's certainly...different! What an interesting 'subject'.....
a little sketchy.........but good one!
that was a pretty good one. funny!
Absolutely funny!
wouldn't "an account" be a suitable answer for this question as well?
Wooh, how did that get on the site? Hehe, cute.
Unfortunately, I have heard this one far too many times....it has lost its humor...very trite
Good one, I like it. My math teacher said that about tests.
That's not right...
Wait a minute ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I like seeing girls in miniskirts.
LOL! I was stumped!
I thought it was funny and really cute, had to look at the answer but don't feel bad about missing it
Like a lot of others, I went in other directions. It was a nice break, despite other comments. LOL
That is a very, very old joke. Circa 1965 vintage probably.
I didn't think that was very appropriate. Sorry.
I thought it cute! And Sameersingh...ya gotta lighten up. This is a fun site good for a chuckle or two. If you didn't think it "up to your standards" fine, but don't be mean-spirited and attack someone. Sheesh!
Great teaser! I wqas going in the total opposite direction
This is just a very old joke. I'm unimpressed.
Huh?
Ok people lighten up this one is good for a little smile. I was thinking a bikini. Not offensive at all. Not all brain teasers need to be serious. Good job Arij.
OMG i love it, i love it, i love it
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!
Hilarious!! I loved it!
My teacher also used this analogy when talking about our papers.
HA HA HA!! I loved this!!!!!
Very true...
lol thats a great great teaser! i wouldnt have thought about that... and im a girl so you rhink i would have but i think the "subject" part threw me.....oh well i like it! lol.
Britt
sorry i sign alot of stuff and so i though i would this too!

Jun 06, 2005

i would like to get to know u Mtpanthersrock (isnt that ur name?) haha, ive heard this alot from teachers when we ask how long a report should b.
How is this even remotly inappropriate in the least bit... It was a good teaser and rather funny. Keep em commin
"Who likes short shorts?"
I though it was a sound bite. Oh, well!
Heard this one thousands of times.
pretty cute. i like the title - it covers it all. LOL. its not so much a riddle as an old joke but i like regardless.
good one!
good one!
i said a short riddle
Ahh! That was so funny and surprising!
Wow, how critical some can be. I thought it was funny and I was totally on the wrong track. Good one
Ah, I love that one!
Euww...
Great one!!!
Great one!!!
Cute!! I like it! (Although I dont think my parents would like it!)
Great job
Great Creativity!
Great job
Great Creativity!
Wow, very good!
Cute one!
How true!! Cute!
...but there aren't enough of them
umm this is a joke and shouldnt have been accepted =(
What is short enough to gain interest and long enough to cover the subject?
A good sermon.
It't not really a joke but from a quote by Ronald Knox. ' A good sermon should be like a woman's skirt: short enough to arouse interest but long enough to cover the essentials. '
As for a miniskirt, the hemlines seemed to be good economic indicators. The hemline index portends that the more leg we see, the higher the stock market will be. If Vogue magazine's spring 2006 collections at www.style.com are right, shares could be dragging just off the knee this year with a greater propensity for exposed midsections.
It does make a good teaser. Thank you 'arij'. :

hey guys lighten up what is wrong with an old joke? i'm old and i still didn't get it. lots of fun no banks or investments but lots of fun very good job Arij
Gain interest for whom?
It's piece o'Bun...a kilt.
interesting...
Another oldy but goody.Does anyone wear miniskirts anymore?
Really nice
Very cute! Made me laugh!
Funny! And TRUE!!!
Yeah, this was a good one alright!! My first thought was "a pun" but my hubby's answer was "lingerie." HAH!! I know where HIS mind is this morning!! LOL
How could that very old joke possibly be classed as a brain 'teaser'???
I don't remember the username I just know I appreciated this comment. It read, "Gain interest for whom?" The only ones who are interested are flakes. A couple of other comments led me to believe that some guys had some very unnecessary thoughts go through their head. I didn't care for this one at all.
Hmm. And here I was thinking it was a financial bond of some sort...
is this the brain teaser of the day or the milton berle joke of the day?
omg bad
When I was teaching Math, back in the 70's, one student had a whole crib sheet under her miniskirt. I caught her and bawled her out; from then on I had an excuse to look at the entire classes thighs. It was an exciting semester!
marchie, you just made up for that lame miniskirt joke! nice story.
I thought it was easy, but funny.
HAH!
wow u are a perv!!!
heh thats funny
*laughs like physco freak*
That was really funny--I likes it!!!
That was really funny--I likes it!!!
couldn't get it - and liked it. hadn't heard it before
Cute!
For those who didn't like this or had a problem with it-is it really that hard to loosen up and have a good time every now and then? Not everything has to be thought provoking.
Cute little riddle.
It's not the joke I have a problem with but rather the thoughts it put into peoples mind. As 'marschie' proved my point it caused 'marschie' to remember, and unfortunately share, an unnecessary story.
I thought it was a CD (bank and audio). I didn't like this one.
Cute, but un-gettable unless you had heard the earlier vesion.
Depends HOW SHORT it is HAHA Kinda cute.
very creative
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny I did not guess it!
i thought it was a title
title=money you get inteest on
titel=the heading of a paper
title=money you get inteest on
titel=the heading of a paper
haha... nys...
I thought: "A Sentence" because a thesis statement, or an opening sentence in a report, is supposed to peak the reader's interest, and topic sentences are supposed to cover the subject of the paragraph.
Can you tell I'm an English minor?
Can you tell I'm an English minor?
Sad to say I am old enough to have worn the miniskirt, so, new teaser or old joke, this was cute, but easy.
Tee hee hee... very funny!
I was on the serious side guessing SENTENCE.

I was thinking a "principal"; first in banking, then in school.
I agree with Blessedgirl1....As a professional teacher of many years, I certainly would not be looking at every girls' thighs simply because one had 'hid' information under her mini skirt. It says much about the author of that comment - one which was not warranted on a website such as this and one that has school children accessing regularly. NOT Iï¼ï¼°ï¼²ï¼¥ï¼³ï¼³ï¼¥ï¼¤ï¼ã€€
it's just a good joke. calm down. I thought it was funny!
LMAO This is great! I love it!
I DIDN'T LIKE THAT ONE BECAUSE MOST GIRLS AREN'T GOING TO LOOK AT A GIRLS LEGS
true true... most girls don't look at girls...*clears throat*...legs. but it was kind of cute, i'll HAVE to admit... clever, not witty, but clever.
First of all, that's a joke....not a teaser. Second, it's not a very funny joke....I agree with everyone who said it was 'inappropriate'....VERY!!
This is a very old question.
arij--you know, that says a lot about your mentality......as well as that of everyone who enjoyed this teaser
That was so Booooooooooooooring
My English teacher uses that when we ask how long our papers should be...
That is an old joke, so I wonder how it managed to get on a teaser website.
Excellent one if you ask me!
ooooweeeeeeeeeeee haha wat kind of intrest and from who???
you can say that again
Hmmmmmm... not really very funny and a tad inappropriate.
This feels like something that would be more appropriate for Wocka. If anything, it is a joke, and not a teaser.
As a joke, it is ok.
As a joke, it is ok.
Not bad
How about a Novelette?
HARDLY WORTH A COMMENT. IT IS OLD AND LACKS ANY INTELLECTUAL QUALITY.
True, very true.
must be joke day i thought that this was the teaser section
I generally try to find the good in everything, but I gotta say, that was pretty sad. That was no teaser, just an old joke. And what was it doing in the trick category???
YAWN
Got it in 1 second, too easy even for an old duffer like me !!
fun but easy. it's an old joke
LOL
Cute, made me smile
Very cute!!
lol i knew it as a joke but i didnt expect to see it in the teaser section. I think monday mornin my brain was tryin to think more
How do you come up with something like that?
This teaser was a waste of time. It's a *very* old joke and not particularly clever.
Good comment RobRoy.
I was going to Bank interest then
a short skirt but.......
WHAT ABOUT BRIEFS??
Doesn't that fit. Don't be so prudish, I'm 50+ and I had a good
laugh. Thanks.

That was just too cute. I loved it. Thanks for my laugh for the day.
Hey nikapooh
I thought of a bikini in there also.
I thought of a bikini in there also.
From my experience, a 'trick' teaser is supposed to make you think and then be something that you've intentionally been made to not think of. Fits the category to me.
Got it easily, and I never wore a mini-skirt in my life.
Very cute, and funny.
Very cute, and funny.
I had a teacher who used to say that about field hockey kilts when asked how long a paper should be.
im sure there are plenty of other answers, but this one is great!
That's just sick.
i think all guys everywhere can agree with this teaser so i dotn see what all the problem is.
Eh. I agree that it's more of a joke than a teaser. I don't really get the "trick" to this.
haha thats a good one!
That's a Joke, Not a riddle.
While I agree that this is more of a joke than a teaser, it still was very amusing and I don't see what the problem is with all this inappropriate stuff. Have a sense of humor, people!!! Anyway, a good joke that I had never heard before, so Good Job!!
haha i was thinking a thesis statement...
HAHA.. nice one
It's gaining my interest!
Never heard that one before but I did not think it was great.
Keep Trying
Keep Trying
it make me giggle, thanks
Loved it, if I hadn't known it I never would have figured it out
To me this 'teaser' is simply a joke!
had to be a guy to come up with something like this...
very good teaser. this goes to faves. btw...
Whoa Arij... good teaser
Haha.
...I totally missed it...
Funny, though.
...I totally missed it...
Funny, though.
Yes it is.
A miniskirt? Interest for whom? You?
And also, add this, I'm a child. What "subject" do you mean?
Uh... I'm a girl. Miniskirts don't exactly gain interest from me. I was thinking something with the stock market because of interest.
I don't get it.....
I've seen some mini skirts that didn't cover the subject.
A headline was my answer.
I thought a short story.
RUDE!!!
inoporiate stuff. u do not have no respect for any anbody
Ooh, I'll say...
Very clever.
Cute one! It made me smile also. I do not care how old it is, it is the first time I have heard it so it was funny.
Like many others, I was thinking along the lines of an opening paragraph! - It's been a looonngg time since I wore a miniskirt!! But I retired from teaching not all that long ago! Fun Teaser!
Just like the stock market. The higher they go, the more interesting they are.
What is fairly funny yet inappropriate for this website? This teaser.
Okay, this time around I see that it is only of interest to a certain gender and is rather suggestive. Some people questioned it being on the site, but I hope we are all old enough and open minded enough to see beyond that and enjoy the humor in it.
I'm with Babe on this one. It's hard for me to comprehend the degree of priggery necessary for anyone to find this teaser inappropriate. I, by the way, in addition to having come up with "miniskirt", also listed "teddy".
Well ... I'm NOT "with Babe" (or anyone else similar) on this matter of ....
"being of interest to only one gender"
What ?????
Suddenly ... simply because of those bigotries there are no more lesbians or bis in the world?
Jaye (speaking for the ENTIRE "BunnyBunch) ...
STILL laughing ....

a bit out of date!
Ha! I thought it was a statement, and "What" was the answer?
"What" can be both short & long.
