Not directly, so I shall answer NO.

I think there's a clue in there somewhere. Perhaps some politico's mistress or something.

And we've narrowed it to Vietnam or the Philippines. I wonder how many people I'd piss off if I said she must be Filipino since all Vietnamese people are named Nguyen.

Must think about my general.

Stumper: Are you the founder of Electronic Data Systems (EDS)?

[Agamemnon]

Lucky old chum, when it comes to fiction you can rool it into a tube and shove it up yo...........Never mind, take a general.

Quail old chum, same old same old general for you too.

BTW
The clue you are looking at Quail is a bit broad in it's meaning.

Leppy, since you deleted the finest question ever posted in a celli game, I have to answer 'No' to your post.

Klemmen............Colin Powell

[Lepton]

Wow, Aga's good. He missed Blaise Pascal, though, with the help of a poorly-worded replacement question.

General: Is your body considered one of your greatest assets?

[Agamemnon]

Is your body considered one of your greatest assets?

Ah! How does One word this without giving too much away? In present tense the answer is NO, but in past tense, depending on how you look at things, it could be YES. As it is generally though, I shall say NO.

[Agamemnon]

So, do you all give up then?

[Leonidas]

I surrender

Running out of old T.V. programs ....

[Duphrates]

Stumper : Did you play the laconic husband of Wendy Craig in Butterflies and is unequalled in the acting profession when faced with a mounting crisis or ludicrous situation that calls for a knowing deadpan look, a gravelly voiced mutter and then a look of "oh, honestly."

[Hitchhiker]

Gary Paulsen (the book was Hatchet).

Holding my general while I think of a good one.
