In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

[yay_heiress]

Um... Ooh, a mascara brush! Those things hurt!

[onlyanapple]

I'll take your word on that, but what does it have to do with names?

[yay_heiress]

Umm... Ooh! What if the person is so mad with the maker of that mascara brush that they never speak their name again!

I'm talking about you, Revlon.

[onlyanapple]

... [What even]

We can safely assume that there is no make up involved.

[yay_heiress]

Dangit!

Hm... A fork? I'd be pretty mad if someone stabbed me in the eye with a fork.

[onlyanapple]

...Yeah you're moving from slightly warm into freezing.

[yay_heiress]

So, makeup was closer, but the answer is not makeup? This is a really confusing riddle!

[onlyanapple]

I..what? No. Not...

Let's just...start from the beginning.

[yay_heiress]

Ok!

Could you repeat the question?

[onlyanapple]

Sure, why not.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

[yay_heiress]

Um... Ooh! Punch!

If you're at a party and you suddenly don't like what someone's saying, you throw your drink in their face!

[onlyanapple]

...Yeah no.

I think we're going to be here for a while.

[yay_heiress]

No, I can get this!

Was I at least closer that time?

[onlyanapple]

Not even a tiny little bit, no.

[yay_heiress]

Huh.

Oooh! Were they playing a game?

[yay_heiress]

It's all fun and games until someone gets something in their eye.

[onlyanapple]

That's very true, but I doubt they'd have called it a game.

[yay_heiress]

Hmmm.

Is it tears? Sometimes when people make me cry, I don't want to talk to them anymore.

[onlyanapple]

...I have a feeling you're not going to get this one.

[yay_heiress]

Is it really that hard?

[onlyanapple]

I think it requires a certain ability to think on a lateral plane I don't believe you can reach.
