Contestants on the 'Family Fortunes' game-show are asked to quickly guess the most popular answers to questions posed in a survey. The closer their answer to the most popular one, the higher their score. The more remote it is, the greater their chances of appearing in a surreal list like this:

Something made of wool: "A sheep.."
A word used to describe a very hot day: "A very hot day.."
Something you hide in your socks when you go swimming: "Your legs.."
A musical instrument you can play in the bath: "A drum kit.."
Something you find on a fire engine: "Coal.."
An item of clothing worn by the Three Musketeers: "A horse.."
A famous Parisian landmark: "Hawaii.."
Something you keep in a garden shed: "A gardener.."
Something that floats in the bath: "Water.."
Something a blind man might use: "A sword.."
The last thing you take off before going to bed: "Your feet.."
Something a girl should know about a man before marrying him: "His name.."
Something that flies without an engine: "A bicycle with wings.."
