Rebus Riddles
What do the following represent?
1) m1llion
2)
L +O ___ SS
3) ME1111ONEONE
4) E E A A R R T T H H
5) IFLAND IFIFC
Hopefully, the spacing comes out when this gets published, but I'm not promising anything.
Some great answers from everyone yesterday. Here are mine: 1) 1 in a million 2) total loss 3) someones following me 4) down to earth 5) 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.
I don't know if any of the answers here are any better than the others. Someones after me, someones following me or me ahead of everyone (although I'm not familiar with that phrase) all work for that rebus.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
