Yes, I Am Immature

I have a calendar on my desk at work. Each day has its own little brain teaser puzzle. Some I solve, some I try to solve and fail, and some I don't even bother with. Here's today's:

Put the same three-letter word in each of the blanks below to make three new words.

_____HOLE

_____STONE

_____BOARD

I've spent most of the morning trying to think of what "assstone" and "assboard" mean.

Puzzle Me This

I got one of those Mensa calendars for as a Christmas gift. You know, the ones where every day has some brain-teasing puzzle. Some of them are fun, some are really hard, some are hard to figure out what the hell they want, and some are just dumb.

The puzzle for January 6 asked what the following five things have in common:

NIFTY
RATIONAL
COLLAR
SKIRTS
DAVIS

Time’s up. They all rhyme with major car rental companies. This Mensa guy writing the puzzles is so smart, why couldn’t he come up with a word that rhymes with “Alamo?”

Pussy.
