It is always your untrained observer that has his poser, his shower of frogs or lizards, or his hoop snakes, and the like. The impossible things that country people see or hear of would make a book of wonders. In some places fishermen believe that the loon carries its egg under its wing till it hatches, and one would say that they are in a position to know. So they are.
He can remember his Infant of Prague; his mind is full of that again. Why should he not be able to remember my baby son?" "Oh, lor!" sighed Dr. Dick. "Why not put that poser to Ronnie direct, instead of putting it to me? Forgive me for saying so, but you are suffering just now from a reaction, after the terrible strain through which you have passed.
He had just gone back to his office at headquarters and there he had found a report of another murder. "Who is it?" asked Kennedy, "and why do you connect it with this case?" O'Connor's answer must have been a poser, judging from the look of surprise on Craig's face. "The Jap Nichi Moto?" he repeated.
The younger women of Polk Street the shop girls, the young women of the soda fountains, the waitresses in the cheap restaurants preferred another dentist, a young fellow just graduated from the college, a poser, a rider of bicycles, a man about town, who wore astonishing waistcoats and bet money on greyhound coursing.

"You haven't answered my question yet. It's a hypothetical question yes, hypothetical. I'm sure that's what I want to say. Hypo hypothetical question. Question; yes, that's right. Now, suppose you'd been a pretty wild young shark, and had kept your mother anxious and miserable, and had drifted into gambling and had gone pretty well to the dogs. Do sharks ever go to the dogs? Now, that's a poser.
It is difficult, isn't it, to answer that sort of question? On another occasion he asked Betty if God was alive. Betty, eager to instruct, said, "My dear Hugh, God is a Spirit." "Then we can boil our milk on him." That was a poser for Betty. Diana was at a loss, too, when Hugh announced his intention of going to Heaven. She asked him what he would do when he got there.
That's the poser as an answer comed to in the cart a drivin' home. You'm the reason!
