Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week




I'd like to introduce a new weekly feature--Mr. Punch's Puzzles--wherein, each Friday, Mr. Punch, with my help, presents a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  Be on the look-out!  Sometimes--not today, because, frankly, I don't feel like it--the winner will receive a fabulous prize from our online store.

So, here's this week's riddle.  And, for the love of Punch, don't Google the answer.  That's not cool, and most of all, it's very un-Victorian.  Must be sporting, Chums, what.


Overall, what are gentlemen's opinions of bloomers?



UPDATE:


The answer...


They are divided.




Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.  Thanks to everyone who answered.  I hope you had fun.








And, remember Mr. Punch wants you to never forget that, "That's the way to do it!"  A good way to recall that is with one of our exclusive Mr. Punch products, available only in our online store.

They like bloomers in springtime?

Joseph Crisalli said...

Nope. But, interesting thought-process, Sam.

Book Gurl said...

They want to stop and smell the flowers?

Joseph Crisalli said...

No, Book Gurl. And...ewwwwwwwww.

April said...

They secretly want to wear them?

Joseph Crisalli said...

Well, no, April. I'm sure that was true of Victorian Ed Woods, but that wasn't what I was aiming for.

They think they make women look like pork chops. Ha......I made myself laugh. I'm a funny man.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Oh, Matt you are a funny boy, but...no.

They look better trimmed with lace than overalls would?

Joseph Crisalli said...

Ah...very clever, Darcy. But, no.

Carolyn said...

They think they're under-ful?

Joseph Crisalli said...

Also clever, Carolyn, but, no.
