Danny the Idiot

Hello All,

I'm wondering what common questions we all get asked on a regular basis? And more importantly what are your replies?

For example,
Where did you learn to do that?
I usually reply, Ballooniversity, Airizona

How long have you been balloon twisting?
About (look at watch) twenty minutes


Have you got any other common questions and replies?
Or replies to the above questions?

Please feel free to contribute no matter how experienced or how much of a newbie you feel you are!

thanks
Danny   :)

I use the ballooniversity line with the addition of 'they don't allow any clowning around, that's a whole different course!'

The other one is "Are they special balloons?" I struggle for a reply so if you have any ideas please feel free to make suggestions.

Not so much a question and answer, but one of my most frequent exchanges is--

Punter: "You're using a pump, that's cheating"
Me: "Did you come here by car? But you've got legs - THAT'S CHEATING"

(Not my original, but many thanks to whoever I got it from!)  :)

'what are you making'

'A balloon'

'Yer but whats it going to be'

'Well its started as a worm, but i havent made my mind up what it will finish as yet'

Also,

'Is that an octopus?'

'No its a septapus, one of its legs popped'

Okay, so that recent thread about increasing participation has lured another lurker out of the shadows...

Question: "How often do they pop?"
Answer: "Only once.  Then I have to start over with another balloon."

How can you make money from balloons?

My qualifications are that of an Accountant

What is an accountant doing making animals from balloons?

Think about it!!!

....................................

Can you make anything?

Yes if you tell me what an anything looks like!!

...........................................

Are they special balloons?

Other than long and thin No they are the same as other balloons its what we do with them thats special!!

......................................

Can you make a ferrarri?

What here and now at this rate of pay!!! But you can book one to be made for you at another time

..................................

The list goes on, but then I do encourage them... and hey with a scouse accent they will always heckle me... Paul sometimes wanders how I get away with some of my answers, but likewise they expect a scouse to come up with some wit/comment, so why dissapoint them!!

I thought I had a few, but apparently I remember them best on the spot...

Your using a pump, ......?
I thought you might appreciate me not spitting all over your balloon.

Can I have a _______ balloon?
Nope, I just ran out of those!  (the reactions are fun!)

The second joke is mine ... the first one was one that was inspired Balloon HQ.  I will try to share more ideas if I can remember any later this weekend.

Well i have a child in my box who blows up the balloons
How old are you? i am 6 years
 he's blowing up the balloons but he is running out of puff and he's 6 years old so i need somene else or is 6 years (looking around)

Silly but works for me

I get the two bellow the most

Where did you learn to do that?
I just have far too much time on my hands

How long have you been balloon twisting?
Oh I've been doing about (pause, think) two weeks now

Both of these seem to get a giggle, got no idea if I came up with them or picked them up fropm somwhere though.

The tricky one for me too is "Are they special balloons?" I get this every time and just dont have anything good to come back with.
