EZC-Boston Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I got a Mensa Puzzle calendar for Christmas and yesterday's answer (found within a crossword) was: "How many naugas does it take to cover a sofa?" Not having heard of a nauga I had no chance of getting it right. I emailed Mensa and asked them what a nauga was, their reply was: "Naugas are litter "critters" whose hides are used in the making of "naugahyde." It's an old bad joke." Does anybody get this old joke or know what this old joke is?
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 A sofa usually seat 3. Get it 3 hides!

You should probably check with DC on this. Seems to be something that would be right up his alley. I wonder how many glockenspiel players could sit on a nauga?

VABills Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I thought they were closely related to the snipe of the lower mideast? 196810[/snapback] No but they are a very close relative to the Jackalope

sfladave Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Whatcha talking about Willis? http://www.brokennewz.com/usnews/nauga.asp 196806[/snapback] How about that History Channel ad right below the flashing ladies, "For two hours it won't kill you to love the French". It is for a special on the French Revolution.
Dan III Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Not having heard of a nauga I had no chance of getting it right. 196708[/snapback] "Samir Nauga... Nauga... na gonna work here no more..." I love that flick.
