Testified

Last Saturday was a quiz for all the trainees of the Murugappa Group at Dare House, Parrys Corner in Chennai. Mr. Austin Anandkumar was the quiz master and he had quite a couple of good ones under his sleeve. Here are a few:

1) What is the origin of the word 'testify' (as in to testify in the court of law?)

A: It comes from the word 'testis'. In the earlier days, men who walked behind the box swore on their testis to speak the truth and nothing but the truth. Yewh!Scary thought if he lied.


2) What kind of a magazine is referred to as a 'Top of the Shelf magazine?'

A:) Adult magazines are called Top of the Shelf because they are out of visibility for children.

can't think of more ... append if wish to.
