What’s so sinister about lefties?
The answer is: everything! Since the word sinister derives from the Latin word for left, lefties are by definition sinister. Even my sinister brother-in-law acknowledges this reality.
Terence Rowell, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
• They can’t be set straight by the right.
R De Braganza, Kilifi, Kenya

A questionable answer
Is death the question or the answer?
I’ll side with Hamlet on this one and just procrastinate.

• We shan’t know the answer to that question until it’s too late.
Joan Dawson, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
• The devil’s in the detail.
Marilyn Hamilton, Perth, Western Australia
• Death is a question. Ouija boards notwithstanding, no one has returned to give us the answers.
Lawrence Fotheringham, Chatham, Ontario, Canada
• Neither – simply the quest for dissolution.
Noel Bird, Boreen Point, Queensland, Australia
• Neither – it’s simply a fact of life.
Lawrie Bradly, Surrey Hills, Victoria, Australia
• Neither. It is merely an antidote.
Michael Olin, Holt, UK
• Once we get to find out, will we care?
Margaret Wyeth, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
• As death is unquestionable, it is self-evidently the answer.
David Turner, Bellevue Heights, South Australia
• That depends on whether you think it is the beginning or the end.

The rich need all they can get
If you won the lottery, what would you do with your millions?
Spend the lot on lottery tickets in the hope of winning some real cash!

• My guiding principle would be to not let the millions change my life.
Reiner Jaakson, Oakville, Ontario, Canada

• I’d mind my own business (and you should mind yours).
David Tucker, Halle, Germany
Madness takes the prize
At what point does madness become brilliance?
When you win the Nobel prize for it.

Jacques Samuel, Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada
• Not sure, but it works in reverse at about four in the morning.
Susan Douglas, Hazelton, British Columbia, Canada
• I would make a bargain with God.
