Kidney-shaped - shaped like an oval with an inward curve at one side

One of those situations where you have to have seen one to know... but then all things are like that... otherwise how would you know something round was round or that green was green- it's just the name we recognise things by.

Right then, having solved that in double quick time. here's one. Asked by a friend of mine some time back, and never solved.

You know those things, the boards they have at the seaside and the like, with a comedy painted figure or two (usually very fat), and holes where you put your face through from behind, so you look like you're the fat person? Perhaps a photographer is on hand to charge for a snap of you in that state?

There must be (or was) a small industry making them, and people must buy them.

What are they called?

Here's some stupid ones for you. They used to infuriate a friend of mine when we asked him them:

Have you ever kissed a chicken on the lips?

What would you rather be or a wasp?

We were undergraduates at the time.

If it takes two men two hours to dig a hole. How long does it take three men to dig half a hole?

You cant dig half a hole

 

[Archie_tect]

And why would you leave the taps running and the plug out?

It's called a shower... .

If it takes two men two hours to dig a hole then obviously in one hour they would have dug half a hole*. So there..
