Frigid Humpday Triviola

Word has it that Mount Level will see temps in the 50's come Friday. I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile my brain is frozen nearly solid and all I can come up with is a softball question to throw out. Here it is:

I'm getting ready to build a long box for a friend. But in order to finish it I'll need some chalk. Explain why?

Would lip-stick work as well? Or are we wanting to lubicate?

Cryptic as your guess is...I don't think so. Although I found it to be disturbingly humorous. ;-)

Re: Got your mind in the gutter, : ' )

Lip stick and chalk is used to transfere marks/ or make something, as in wood slide easier. Dale who never has seen the inside of a container of KY Jelly.

Does it have to do with the type of question. It's positively driving me batty.

Re: Gary...

are you referring to a batter's box, next to home plate? That's outside of the box thinking! Good job, if that's correct.

Hint #1

My friend will need the long box in April and he'll only be able to use it until about mid May.

Hint #2

Gee, I thought this question was gonna be a real turkey. Guess I was wrong?

That was my idea-but, sadly, not Tom's

Re: Length is relative....

long, thinking a coffin size box. But hopefully the turkey will need a coffin.

So you gonna use ERC?

When you said long box...

I figured you would be burying your friend.

But it seems you are just calling the 'guest of honor' to dinner.

Finally! The Answer *LINK*

Bill, Fred and Dale all chirped in with correct answers. The answer is a long box turkey call. Often chalk is used to create the correct friction for the box to make certain turkey calls. Here is a link for more info and pictures.

Well done gents!
