1. Work on extensions to the Yellow Brick Road had fallen way behind schedule. The Munchkin work-crews refused to even contemplate starting on the Emerald City by-pass until the issue of their stiff, scratchy work-clothes was addressed. Work finally resumed when new light-weight and soft drill uniforms were issued. A contented Spokes-Munchkin commented "We're happy to work now..."
    "...we're not in canvas anymore."
    "...the Tin-Man's lent us his hip-flask, I mean 'oil-can' heh heh heh."
    "...Dorothy's promised to stop singing."
    "...Toto's stopped eyeing up our legs."


2. Positions have been announced for Team Oz, the latest franchise in the Musical Baseball League. The Cowardly Lion will play in the outfield - as far out as possible - and the Tin-Man, with that weird arm action, is the obvious choice for pitcher. Dorothy is perhaps more of a surprise, being named as catcher. But, as the feisty brunette explained:
    "I have terrible acne, I need the mask."
    "Those little hand signals to the pitcher are so cute!"
    "I love to squat; gotta crouch."
    "There's no plate like home."


3. Things are looking a little ratty around Oz. Toto's got mange, Scarecrow's being forced to make do with last week's straw, and Dorothy's slippers are missing some rubies. What could possibly be the reason?
    Some wear over the rainbow.
    Studios only spend money on animation these days.
    The props department's on strike.
    The Munchkins got the munchies.


4. Maria, fresh from a battle with Captain Von Trapp over acceptable ways to raise children, picks up her guitar for a soothing sing-song. But tragedy! After the first strum, the A, E and G twang and curl back on themselves mockingly, and Maria begins to sob. Why is she so upset?
    Those were a few of her favourite strings.
    You can't make guitar strings out of old curtains.
    She has taken a vow of poverty and can't afford to buy replacements.
    There's a war on, guitar strings are rationed and she's out of coupons.


5. The precocious Von Trapp children have tired of pulling silly pranks with spiders and moved into the modern age. They've got themselves a computer and written a little sound-file which will overdub the movie soundtrack every time somebody says the name of their Governess. They hit a snag when they got to storing it on their hard-drive, though. What's their dilemma?
    They got worried about their "G" rating.
    How do you save a program like "My Rear"?
    Their father found out and made them all sing 35 choruses of "Edelweiss" before dinner.
    They ran into a copyright issue with the producers of "The Brady Bunch".


6. All that frolicking in fountains and running around on mountains has taken its toll. Maria caught a cold, and it swiftly passed to the Captain and then through all the Von Trapp children. So, for the moment, the hills are alive with the sound of...?
    Belching
    Sneezing
    Mucus
    Coughing


7. One of the things many people don't know about Captain Von Trapp is that he collects unusual animals from all the ports his ship visits around the world. What is the prize of his collection so far?
    An Oslo Ocelot
    A Hull Gull
    A Doha Deer
    A Bordeaux Border Collie


8. Over at Rydell High, Danny Zuko's English essay on "Romeo and Juliet" has not been well received. He's been called to see Principal McGee and explain why he has included slabs of text without inverted commas, some of it not even Shakespeare, and if he really thinks it's appropriate to graphically compare "that hot chick Juliet's assets" to those of Annette Funicello. Miss McGee's final comment before telling him to try again?
    Try to spend 5 minutes with the smart Australian girl without launching into a song about your car.
    Request to present essay as song and dance number in diner denied.
    Hopelessly misquoted, too blue.
    More time on the homework, less time on the hair.


9. Danny Zuko was forced to undertake much embarrassed combing of greasy hair when he failed his History final. It was pointed out that in the essay section he had Medieval warriors fighting for ancient Mesopotamian culture in his composition entitled:
    Uruk: Camelot of the Middle East
    Babylon: Tell Me More!
    Those Sumer Knights
    Did Sir Galahad Ride on the Back of an Assyrian?


10. Olivia Newton-John had already been cast in "Grease" and auditions for her co-star were in full swing. No sooner had Mr Travolta walked in the room when Olivia jumped up and cried "Stop the auditions!" Then she turned to Travolta and said:
    "Aren't you Arnold Horshack?"
    "Would you like to take a free personality test?"
    "Got a license to fly that thing?"
    "You're the John that I want!"
