12) People don't usually call them names ( unless they are very young or very mad)

But they are distinguishable by an adjective if you mislay one

sorry for prolonged absence BT has much to answer for (if you can find somebody to put the question to)

13) not communication devices unless you are silently demonsrating your displeasure with someone ( possibly one from a middle-eastern country)

SkidMarks, if you're fast enough you could ponder Q/A 10 and possible reconsider?

MC - have you seen the size of some gaudy rings & earings? :)
You are correct though.

Perhaps I should have thought about the other end of the body.

Even though I have seen toe rings,

16) are they shoes?

I suspect SkidMarks to deliberately keep on asking off-the-mark questions until hitting on the truth at exactly question 20.

Unless he knows OB so intimately as to be able to account for the answer on question 2.

I only know OB from the Ffiestas, but suspect that her mansion has a special outbuilding for her shoes and wears only the finest doeskin slippers when indoors.

I been posting guesses recently because during the summer months the Fforum is very quiet. I would not want her to feel that no-one cares.
