A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is made. Next, a blind man comes into the shop and wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does he indicate what he wants?

He just asks.

What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

There is at least one nine letter word. Excellent: 10 words. Good: 7 words. Average: 5 words.
