Another triple play/hat trick for Fishmed!
I can't get any of these. I don't even understand what a camera has to do with "eyes"? Watch the birdie??
Very good one, but also very hard. I don't really get the last one, but still it is very good!
Excellent, I loved them all. Thanks
no, trhis is a Royal Flush
Got all but the first one right away but had to really think about Barber, Rooster and Beehive. Finally I did come up with it. Very good - I really liked and enjoyed this one.
Couldn't remember what the thingie (comb) on the rooster's head was called. Loved it tho!

Brilliant! Bravo!
HARD 1
I don't get what an idea has to do with seeds

that was a really hard 1. i coudn't guess any of them.
aimeekspice whats with all the , i mean, how many did you put on there!?
what aimeekspice you have no life? the riddle was really good but not that good. it had me thinking awhile
that was stupid
I really enjoyed this one. Besides 4 out of 5 right ain't too bad for me. Thanks for one I almost scored 100 % on.
If you make it passed all the child like emoticons from above...You had a great teaser...some were easy some made me think for a minute...Over all I really liked it, have a great day!!!
I got 2 and 4 right away. At first I though 1 was 'buzz' but then I thought "What does 'buzz' have to do with a rooster?"
First of all, my apologies to Rowsdower and just moi for clicking on the "inappropriate" button on their comments. I didn't know what that was, and I thought that by clicking on it, it would give me more information. I get it now, so sorry guys. On the other hand, the ones where aimeekspice had all those smileys were just ridiculous and they got a well-deserved "inappropriate."
That being said, great teaser.

For the first time I hit "inappropriate" and it was for all those smileys. I think that person is too immature for this site and should be banned.
The teaser was great.

pretty hard one
haha, I got the pins one ;) I'm in a rush, otherwise I would have tried harder
and aimeekspice, that was obnoxious...
Fishing Rod, actor, cashier...I thought it was reel!
Good, I like that one
Good, I like that one
YaHoO! i did it!!!!!!!!!
I got it. La la la!
Nice one!
good 1!
Good Teaser!! I enjoyed this one. Good Job
What a great little teaser - light, bright, and jolly good fun!
Really fun, good teaser. Thanks for posting.
Interesting,but on the easy side. Still enjoyed it.
I got a few, missed a few. Pretty good one. Veryb clever thinking to come up with this one.
This one really made me think - got 1,2,4,&5 pretty easily, but 3 stumped me. Probably because the jack for my car isn't in the trunk, but under the back seat...
Anyway, great teaser!

Great teaser!
I got #2 and #5, couldn't figure out the rest.

I used Outfits for (bowling/tailor/wrestling) .. works just as well IMO
Good exercise for the brain. I like these kind. Must have taken some time to think them up so thanks a bunch!
Tribond is one of my fav. board games.
I had no problem with the idiom of "camera's eye" but "seed of an idea" is a bit of a jaunt across from the usual saying "germ of an idea". Still, neither case got in the way of solving the puzzle.
I can't believe people wanted to ban somebody earlier for using some extra emoticons in their comment. They're not much in my habit personally, but, I don't see why we need to ban somebody for that example. How thin-skinned are we now? Silly does not equal offensive or abusive.

Again I got a few, missed a few. The old brain is not improving.
I got all of them except #3. I haven't thought of phone jacks since I switched over to wi-fi.
I got 1,2 and 4 without too much trouble , but 3 and 5 really made me think. This was really fun fishmed, as usual. Looking forward to more.
Very easy for me. It might have been true when it was originally written, but most new car trunks don't have a jack now.
Fun, entertaining and challenging teaser; I got them all but had to really work hard at it.
I didn't get #3..?even after the answer? Duhhh!
I am glad you liked it, thank you.
This is a wonderful teaser. Had to ponder several, and eventually got 4/5. Jacks... ah...
I was stuck on reel + actor = cast, but how does a checkout counter fit? Hmmm... ah. Got it.
Fun fun fun. Really well done.
