i got this one i find it quite easy but keep up the good work
Fun... clever... liked it.
easy moneys

I had a hunch that it was something with a bull and bomb in the word. GJ
This is more of a joke.
i was thinkin terrifying! who would want to be around a bull when it's about to explode? anyhow, good teaser!
Good Teaser, But I Got This One Right As Soon As I Saw That It Was A Language Teaser
I haven't actually looked at the answer yet, but I'm assuming its abominable (A-Bomb-In-A-Bull)
Nice, but too easy.
Nice, but too easy.
Pretty easy, but cute Good job
And how do you describe the aftermath of the explosion?

ernsti: The word for the aftermath of the explosion? Messy.
this riddle is one of my favorites!!!
The solution is clever, but the riddle gives itself away. Using a thesaurus on the description might have created something trickier, e.g.:
"If an uncastrated steer were to swallow a stick of dynamite strapped to a ticking clock, which word would best describe the situation?"
In this case, at least you haven't said "bomb" and "bull" in both the question and the answer...still a clever ruse.

Nice teaser!
one of the few i get right...

Nice teaser, but the word "scandalous" would hardly describe the situation at hand. ThreeTwoOne: I have no idea what on earth you're talking about!
this is like the second teaser i've ever gotten right, without seeing the answer!! so i guess it was an easy one. but, i kinda liked it, i also think it was more like a joke, but that's ok.
I'm happy I got it! Good, more of a joke, but good!
i got that one right *gasp* it must be easy
a bom in a bull? Way too easy
Too easy! Heard that one ages ago!
that was cute
Seems more like a joke...it was way too easy. Sorry.
that was cute!
it was cute and made me giggle. So not too bad. It's one I can use on my patients when they need a pick me up.
Shame on me for taking it seriously...
After the bomb explodes - Noble
Waaaaay easy. Cute teaser but not very hard to figure out. We need one of these now and then.Thanks for posting.
Very clever.
I thought it was great, great play on a word.
i would have said (if the bomb was active) run!!!!!
very clever!!!
Cute but Easy
Now that was funny! Thanks for a good fun teaser.
Cute, the easiest one yet
that was really easy, and really hilarious....I loved it, it really brightened my morning, great play on words
I like elentir's addition!
Funny! Took me a minute to figure it out, but I loved it. Thanks!
very easy.
How can it go from the impossible yesterday to the impossibly easy today?
I've heard it before. And the sequel is "noble".
Hi ymiroc. Love the Pun but
Bull's don't have Udders. Cows do.
That was great, went right over my head! I really laughed when I saw the answer.
Can't say that bull was full of.....
Kaboom!!!!!!
Ha! Ha! H! thanks for the laff eh?

As puns go, this one was udderly abominable.
It belongs in Wiley's Dictionary.

Nice one--probably would have been more challenging to ask "if a male cow swallows an explosive device...." rather than how it was phrased, if you wanted to make it a little more difficult.
Got it easily, but it gave me a laugh, always a good part of a day; thanks.
haha i get it!!!!!!!

will help. Sorry Everbody.,
will help. Sorry Everbody.,
Funny but two words, POOR BULL!!
Lol I liked it im gonna tell my frends that one!!!!!
Easy but cute. Thanks for the giggle.
i agree it is more of a joke than it is a teaser... and having multiple choices made it way too easy
I agree with ThreeTwoOne about synonyms, but it was a good teaser anyway!!!
Clever. I'm fond of the ones that you need to look at twice for.
if it's active.... bloody.
Oh my gosh, I loved that.
Love it! I agree though it would be better with no choices. Still really cute though!
Easy teaser...but it's creative. That's what made it enjoyable. Thanks for the teaser.
I'm sorry, but I didn't really understand that...
That teaser was the bomb....
I got it right off the bat. I laughed till I cried. Thanks for the fun teaser.

A BOMB in a BULLet. (Abominable)
I meant BULL.
Sooo got that without even looking at the word choices. Sweet!
herd it before...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAyyyyyy before
WAAAAAAAAAAAAyyyyyy before
Way too easy! The word stuck out like a sore thumb.
Very funny, but more of a joke than a language teaser.
Pretty bad, worst so called teaser in years.
Whoever "ymiroc" is, I know they will never see this because they posted in 1202, but I do have to say to them that a bull does not have an "udder." Your joke fell flat.
very funny teaser!
A little too obvious, but fun regardless.
Should be under the Joke category, and definitely junior level?
Sorry, worst teaser I have ever encountered!

Maybe Jake could have turned this idea into a clever picture rebus, but as presented... meh.
