Pete,
Are you serious (and sure <G> ) about this?

Give the English compound interorgatory sentence:

Who is Tall and who is Fat?

I don't see anything in the wording that implies (much less requires) that t
he
two groups are "separate"?

I person may be in one, two, or niether categories

try to avoid contriving a pun about a windbag's woeful windings having
wound up, wonderfully, wounding no-one.

Avoiding contrivining a pun while stating the pun is not avoiding contriving
a pun!
