Well he is not operating on me, that's for sure.

I'm guessing that it was a pact - the others probably thought it wasn't fair that they should lose their arms and not him?

I like puzzles like that!

(maybe the doctor wasnt a cannibal, to eat someone elses arm?)

I can't see the point of the doctor having his left arm amputated after they'd all been rescued, or am I missing something?

Well Liz was very clever

I hadn't got a complete grip on it. I thought what use is a surgeon with an arm missing. Hope he had retired by then.

Liz has it perfectly. (they chose their left arms, Mau, cos they were all right handed).

Nice one Bobtanian!

Does anyone fancy another one? (don't all queue at once to say yes, mind!)

LOL Bobtanian.

Whenever I hear that song now I will think of this conundrum.

its a parody on Life on Mars, if the plane crashed they are all dead...


or they were prisoners chained up and cut their hands off to escape from the wreck!


cue music..........

"take my haaaand, I'm a stranger in Paradise!!"

Did the doctor cut the arms off so they could eat them? But he would have needed 2 arms himself to operate.

Maybe he had his own arm cut off after they were rescued and the others were coming to see if he had really had it done?

hmm soo the plane crashed....they were all starving so they ate each others' left arms ( no 'arm in that we've all been hungry at sometime lol) but why not the right arm? not taste as good?

If the man who met the plane was a doctor,did he operate using just the one arm?

So many questions now wating for the answers ;O)

No Carol, they were 'armless already!

Are they all waiting to be disarmed?

Here goes with the answers:

"Have they all been to the same tailor?" - irrelevant

"Is the fact that the plane landed in London relevant?" - no

"Are the passengers and person meeting them a right armed force?" - no

"Not a game of Lego is it Sue?" - no, it's not!

"Does the airport have a good coffee shop to go to while we wait?" - irrelevant

"were/are the hands/arms amputated? " - Yes - now we're getting somewhere!

"does the word "single handed/ness " come into it?" - no

"Shall we do the hokey cokey?" - only if we must, but ..... irrelevant

"they was all involed in a plane crash, and started eating each others left arm, any that was left with a left arm had to have it removed, so they all suffered the save fate". Absolutely, and well done, Running Bear. You're nearly there.

"Was the man who met the plane a doctor?" - Yes, Liz. The story has very nearly unfolded, folks!

Sue x

Ha, ha! Or a left-arm bowler.

Well the chap who met the plane certainly wasn't a paper hanger...

Was the man who met the plane a doctor?

they was all involed in a plane crash, and started eating each others left arm, any that was left with a left arm had to have it removed, so they all suffered the save fate,

That's what it is all about!!

At least we know none of them were Tommy Cooper.... not like that... like that. Needs both hands.

Shall we do the hokey cokey?

were/are the hands/arms amputated?
or were they born like that?

does the word "single handed/ness " come into it?
