Ellis likes apple pie, Tom likes fudge and Isabella dark chocolate ice cream. Which of the following is Debbie's favorite? (and why)

1) Strawberries and ice cream

2) Flan

3) Candy Bars.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Candy Bars.

Ellis might also like the candy bars, but Tom would prefer the Flan.

If it�s a logic puzzle then this does not apply. However, if it�s an academic question then Debbie wants none of the choices. Why? Because she is a working, mature American woman and no one is going to ever, ever, limit her choices. She was born free and with the help of savvy, independent, free thinkers everywhere she will remain her own person. If Isabella wants to be weak and choose from a pitiful short generated list then it�s her choice, but a shame, for clearly she hasn�t become enlightened yet. As for the men, well, they made the list, so, of course, they put on it what they want. If you think that she�s just being obstinate then you have another thing coming, mister. Debbie will call for Faculty Senate meeting to generate a task force on the matter and invoke the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 11246, Title IX , the Department of Education, NOW, and the ACLU. Incidentally, she prefers organic yogurt to protect her girlish figure.

That could be, but only if there are bones in her ice cream.

Sorry Steve. Ignore my answer. I vented. I just had a bad (confrontational) day.

I knew your answer was tongue in cheek, but I still have no clue after reading Bill's answer...

It has the same number of words as the number of syllables in the name.
