It's either a telephone's ring

Or Microsoft's bing

or a fisherman's nets

or the president's pets

or a ballerina's toes

or (something that grows

when dishonesty flows)

Pinocchio's nose?



You're Dr. Seuss's ghostwriter, right?


> Pinocchio's nose

Bing


In an attempt to solve, took bigrams from http://blog.afterthedeadline.com/2010/07/20/after-the-deadli...

and ended up these top 10 entries:

  Schindler's	List	33
  president's	plan	32
  Microsoft's	Xbox	26
  yesterday's	post	17
  boatswain's	mate	16
  highlight's	from	16  <-- need to include only nouns
  Elizabeth's	time	16
  Wednesday's	show	13
  Microsoft's	IPTV	11
The answer didn't appear in the corpus, but there was 1 entry for

  Pinocchio nose  <-- no apostrophe and 's'
Looks like i need a bigger corpus and more data scrubbing, there must've been something else that tipped you off before or during the show...


> there must've been something else that tipped you off before or during the show...

Not that I recall, but maybe so.
