Topic: Possible game for us - Never a truer word

Message 1 / 2
Steve KenrickOct 25, 2017

With the fantasy panel game taking it's time to get going, I would like to suggest a new game called, 'Never a truer word', which is short for 'Never a truer word spoken'. Not much shorter, just 28.6%.

It should be self explanatory from this example, which is taken from the transcript of the 2nd January 1993 recording.

TONY SLATTERY: I'm sorry, Nicholas, riding the laugh? What's....

NP: Have you never ridden a laugh Tony?

TS: No!

NP: You just ignore them do you?

TS: Well...

NP: Or don't you get any?

It would be nice if we could get more examples of Nicholas exercising his wit, and in this case his wisdom.

As in this example, the essential words should be the final quote, thereby removing any ambiguity as to the point being made by the poster.

I must admit that I laugh when Nicholas tries to be witty, but I don't laugh for the reason he intended...
