EZC-Boston Posted January 7, 2005 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

It is for a special on the French Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
