I mean, it's true that a number probably would not go near a fox, but it doesn't really make much sense either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Congrats to... akaslickster! 60 Minutes goes tic toc when it comes on, 60 Minutes is time, but certainly isn't a clock. It's on the boob tube in a time slot, in a TV set, and on TV spots. They'es been around for two score (40 years). They're on CBS, not Fox. And it's (Dan) Rather (Morley) Safer in a box (the TV). The last sentence is a nod to Andy Rooney's segment which often begins "Did you ever notice?" Hope you all liked my first riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did a great job disguising. Funny when I saw score on score I thought of 20/20. Edited July 3, 2008 by akaslickster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
