Title: Box: Enter
Post by alien2 on Nov 6^th, 2019, 6:54am

I am six foot tall and in perfect health (yeah, right). And yet, I entered a smallish box. How's this possible?!

The obvious answer is that you're a [hide]contortionist[/hide].
But I'm not sure if that's the answer you have in mind.

A really good guess. Not the intended answer though. No, sir.

Perhaps tempus fugit will put you on the right track.

Perhaps Franks Sinatra will put you on the right track:

When I was seventeen, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen

A smallish box would not fit a full-grown horse but a poney probably. And with 6 feet you are smaller than a poney. Which is funny because a poney has only 4 feet.

Yes. Your answer is correct, horsemaster.
