Joke was a tall order
Imagination took bizarre turns for last week's What's Your Line?
challenge.
The picture of a pumping installation at Norwich Gasworks in 1959
pushed many readers round the bend, some of them blaming Uri Geller
for getting up to his old tricks.
A crop of "Looping" blossomed among the pipes, while
several entries claimed to know where escaped pythons were hiding.
No shortage of political "U-turn" jibes, and even a
suggestion that it was something to do with the chap who "sold
a load of old bricks to the Tate last week."
The book prize goes to Lorna Allies, of Gull Lane, Framingham
Earl, for the comparatively straightforward but charmingly evocative
line: "He was really too tall to work here."
