Confusing.....
HAHA, funny teaser and still great!
How much effort did you put into that one? BTW are you being coached by Mr Ix?
Thanks Palsha. Smithy, whilst I am aware that your comment is probably more meant in affirmation of MrIx's brilliant teasers than to suggest anything else ;) it doesn't come across all that well. It would seem to imply that I may need coaching on my teasers or in a less complimentary vein, that previously my teasers have not been of a high standard and that improvement was necessary and hence coaching from MrIx? I believe that I learn from all the submitters in some way or another, MrIx included as I would agree his skill is undeniable, though I have been writing what I believe are good quality rebuses for some time now and imagine that specific coaching is not really what I need? But I know you didn't mean it like that anyway so I won't talk about it any further . Thanks for stopping by and praising my teaser. I'm pleased that the quality of my teaser has been compared to someone of the skill of MrIx ;) .
Oh, and to be honest, it wasn't much effort at all, it just came to me in a flash of brilliance - it happens every decade or so .
Lol, that says a lot for the rest of your teaser then D^2
... smarty!!
Firstly D it was Jimbo that made the coaching ref, not smithy
and thirdly I wish I had a second point to make.

Aha! got one...I don't think Jimbo meant any offence, you just can't be paying him as much as I do
Ooops, my bad.. dunno where I got that one from. No, like I said, it probably wasn't meant in any certain way but it still doesn't sound so great, hence my S A .
Well if its any consolation, I came out of it quite well
and that's all that truly matters, ay MrIx
for some unknown reason i read those two things as saying "upper ram" and "lower ram" and as such, got stuck on computers, or sheep or something
it was good once i realised that there was no second "r" in there

I think you need to sloooow down and breeeaaaaaath ... pleased you liked it
i thought it was like "hes got the upperhand" or something weird like that
that was a bit conusing.....
DO I A GREE GREE GREE??
means.. do i agree??
I came away with upper and lower strenght. I did not see the Elbow or the Gree Gree. I thought it wa fun, yet difficult. Ha ha
Modesty will get you everything. This is the first Teaser I read by Q. and I thought it was somewhat difficult, yet fun and funny. The ability to write and express the type of logic that may have several meanings yet one expression is a good ability Self-evaluation is always positive, for it makes better people out of us, but not too hard on yourself. Teasers suppose to be fun, stress release, and a time that we can relax, don't push too hard. I want to develop a few teasers. I just thinking I would be good at it. keep writing , mr/ ms Q
I got the elbow part, but couldn't come up with the grease part. Still, half is better than nothing.
My final thought.POORLY WRITTEN and NOT WORTHY OF PUBLISHING
I almost didn't get it until I read the hint. I knew it was elbow grease then, but kept thinking I was wrong. I thought that gree plural was greeses. Creative, though!
I didn't think it was bad at all. I thought it ws pretty clever.
I didn't get it right, but as usual I forgot to read the hint. Maybe if I had, I would have gotten it. I love Rebus teasers, and this is no exception. Very good, Thanks for posting.
Excellent rebus.
Clever and entertaining.
Clever and entertaining.
I thought it was very clever, and I did figure it out after I read the hint. I got the elbow part right away, but when I read the hint I understood what the "grees " were for. What I don't undertand is why some people ,( one in particular,) are so negataive. If you can't say something nice, or at least aconstructive, why bother to comment?
I thought it was cute.
I am simply devoted to Rebus, and this one is on my favorite list.
I thought it was a great teaser. I got it almost right away.
Thanks for all the comments. Don't mind the positive and negative... not going to please everyone all the time. Of course some of us may have chosen another way to word a negative view
Very good rebus - pictorial lateral thinking required. I managed it quite quickly and gave it a high rating.
However, I think your title is inconsistent, translated as 'Do You Agrees?' 'Who A Gree Gree Gree?' might have been more accurate.
