Words ending in -try
Arthur C Clay
I'll tell it to you like it was told to me...
There are six words in the English language ending
in -try. If you've listened carefully, you should
be able to name them all ;-)
Thought
-try isn't a word, buttmunch, it's a suffix. There's only 5 words
(and one suffix) in the English language ending in -try :)

After about 10 or so words, I thought of my first "science" word
(geometry), realized there must be lots more, gave up, and went to the
dictionary. There are 97 words in OSPD whose last 3 letters are 't', 'r',
and 'y' in that order. What am I missing here?
And "Thought", would you mind laying off the annoying attitude please? I
don't think you're amusing anyone.

Pedantry comes to mind, for some strange reason.

I can't tell who wrote what here. Sorry if I am repeating
what has gone before, but NetScape tells me the previous
articles have expired.
I come up with:
entry
gentry
sentry
pantry
vestry
pastry
try (which IS, in fact, a word).
Any others?

Hey there Rob, it was actually a trick question...but it's a really
stupid trick question and not worth your time to try and figure out why
it was a trick...in fact it's not worth my time to sit here and type
this ;) Cya later Rob :)
P.S.
geometry
trigonometry
symmetry
asymmetry
Math rewlz :)

I guess that's why there was the winking (I think) guy in
the question...? Oh well.
Samuel was injured in a car accident, and his left leg was
completey severed below the knee. At the hospital, the
doctor told him that, while he would, in all probability,
spend the rest of his life on crutches or on an artificial
limb, it WAS remotely possible that he would grow
another foot.
But...how is this possible?

Foot: Unit of length equal to 30.48cm, unless you are a surveyor in
which case it's approximately equal to that.

Sorry,
Samual is a child.
He did lose his one leg below the knee.
But, as a child, he will grow another "foot"
(12 inches) in height.
Just my opinion.

Good thing, too, 'cause it would've been murder teaching him to use those
crutches.

SPOILER
He could pay $4.00 (3x$12.60-2x$16.90)
Alternatively, he could pay no more than
(and probably a lot less than) $2.56 for
the coffee and get the rest from his
friends, who have plenty to share.

In your posting you do not mention
the third trucker "ordering" anything.
He paid nothing.
Apparantly stealing his food
while the waitress was distracted
filling a combined order of
7 sandwiches,
2 cups of coffee,
and
17 donuts.

$3. He wasn't very honest; the correct price was $4.
