Dr T Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 In this this thread we need to either ask a question or make an assertion and the response to the question or statement cannot be answered or responded to with a yes or no. Be creative in getting around the word yes or no For example: Q: Do you take naps? A: I would like to take naps often but since I work 5-10 hour days I'm not able to nap. I will start with:You were born in the month of December. Quote
Claire Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Whether you reckon time using the Gregorian or Julian calendars will affect this. For that matter, the name "December" predates the Julian calendar, what with the last month containing the prefix "Dec" meaning ten, implying that it was used in a different calendar system where it was the tenth month. I think July (for Julius Cesar) and August (for Augustus Cesar) were the two added months. Also, in that ten month calendar, it probably wouldn't have started with the birth of Christ since it would have had its origins before his advent. As such, depending on which calendar system you use, I may or may not have been born in December. Do you like yogurt? Dr T 1 Quote
Jane_Doe Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 I would love to eat strawberry yogurt, but my daughter insists we have peach and then eats it all. Do you watch TV? Quote
Dr T Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 While we do have a television and a satellite dish on our home, we do not subscribe to satelliteTV, nor do we get cable but we do use our TV to watch DVDs. Have you ever been diagnosed with a major medical diagnosis? Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 The phrase major medical diagnosis is vague. For me "you have a papercut" is a major medical diagnosis whereas for my husband "you're going to lose your left foot" is a minor medical diagnosis. Do you own a doomsday bunker? Quote
EarlJibbs Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Doomsday bunkers sure do sound cool. But I don't know much about them. Maybe I should buy build one, I wonder if it is hard? Do you know how to build a doomsday bunker? Quote
PolarVortex Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 If you make a list of things that I know how to build, please omit "doomsday bunker." How would a Frenchman say oui in English? (I hope this isn't a threadkiller...) Quote

Crypto Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) To be or not to be that is a similar question as yes or no. How to answer this I do not know.To be or not to be? Edited January 30, 2015 by Crypto Quote
Dr T Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 "That is the question" Do u feel confident? Quote
CatholicLady Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 When I feel confident, I can have a lot of fun. And when I have fun, I can do amazing things. (joe namath) Do you poop? Quote
PolarVortex Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Do you poop? Okay let's try this again. What is the English translation of the German word "ja"? Quote
Crypto Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Okay let's try this again. What is the English translation of the German word "ja"?

Dr T Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Posted January 31, 2015 I usually appreciate a good punDo u speak more than one language? Quote
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 The pioneering sociolinguist and Yiddish scholar Max Weinreich had a quote: A language is a dialect with an army and navy.His point being that the difference between a language and a dialect was ultimately a political distinction and had little to do with linguistics per se. Thus, German and Dutch are separate languages, but Mandarin and Meixian Chinese are supposed dialects. But, others posit that comprehensibility between two languages can make them dialects so that Ebonics can be considered an English dialect.I speak Boholano, Cebuano, Pilipino, Spanish, and English. How many languages that comes up to? You tell me.Do you like magenta? Quote
Dr T Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Posted January 31, 2015 I never wear it but that does not mean I don't like it. I just don't like it on me. Do u play golf! Quote
mirkwood Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I stopped playing about twelve years ago. It took up too much time when I work two jobs and I just didn't have the time for it anymore. Do you like soccer? Quote
Palerider Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I enjoy soccer very much. Been around it and watched it most of my life. Serving in England helped me to love it even more.Do you like Tennis ?? Quote

SpiritDragon Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I've dabbled in the art of racquet-sports and I might even have a decent back-hand strike. Do you pick your nose? Quote
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 During the time of the Tower of Babel, man was so prideful that they thought they should be able to pick their own noses. So the king decided to make all these beautiful noses and put them in the tower for the people to pick from. The trumpet sounded and everyone dashed to the tower to pick their noses. The Caucasians, having longer legs, got there first and picked the longer noses. The Malays, having shorter legs, ended up with the smaller noses. The Africans, being the most diligent, were out in the fields when the trumpet sounded so they ended up with trampled noses from the mad dash of nose picking. So they got flat, wide noses.I'm Malay.Are you Malay? Quote
JimmiGerman Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I will start with:You were born in the month of December. ... I wished it was not December 31, because that would be too much (celebrating birthday and New Year's Eve party). Edited February 1, 2015 by JimmiGerman Quote
