Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
| Question 6 reminded me of the old joke. Batman and Robin are in the big fight with the bad guys |
| Sock, biff, yaroo, zap. Batman picks up a vase, clumps The Joker over the head with it and goes "T'Pau." |
| Robin goes "don't you mean Kapow?" Batman says "no, T'Pau. China In Your Hands," |
